S-8921 (Shionogi)

M L Booker. Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2001 Mar.

Abstract

S-8921 is a sodium/bile acid transport inhibitor under development by Shionogi for the potential treatment of hyperlipidemia. As of June 2000, phase I trials had commenced in Japan and were planned in Europe [370602]. S-8921 acts by altering sodium-dependent transport mechanisms of the brush-borders in the intestinal mucosa, causing bile acids that re-enter the intestine to be excreted rather than reabsorbed [281476].
