Abstract

Azepino[4,5-b]indoles have been identified as potent agonists of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). In vitro and in vivo optimization has led to the discovery of 6m (XL335, WAY-362450) as a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable FXR agonist (EC(50) = 4 nM, Eff = 149%). Oral administration of 6m to LDLR(-/-) mice results in lowering of cholesterol and triglycerides. Chronic administration in an atherosclerosis model results in significant reduction in aortic arch lesions.
