Lanifibranor (IVA337) (Synonyms: IVA337)

Lanifibranor is a pan peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist with EC50s of 1.5, 0.87 and 0.21 μM for human PPARα, PPARσ and PPARγ, respectively.

Lanifibranor is a pan peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist with EC50s of 1.5, 0.87 and 0.21 μM for human PPARα, PPARσand PPARγ[1]. Skin fibrosis is attenuated by Lanifibranor (IVA337) (p<0.05, vehicle vs Lanifibranor at 30 mg/kg and p<0.001, vehicle vs Lanifibranor at 100 mg/kg). Both low and high doses of Lanifibranor cause a significant decrease of collagenous matrix deposition. Administration of high (100 mg/kg) doses of Lanifibranor results in reduced body weight compare with vehicle controls (p<0.05; Lanifibranor at 100 mg/kg vs vehicle). Results demonstrate that activation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) with Lanifibranor induces a significant reduction in the infiltration of macrophages, CD45+ leucocytes and lymphocytes in Lanifibranor-treated mice compare with rosiglitazone-treated counterparts[2].
