ELOVL6-IN-2 is a potent, orally active and selective ELOVL6 inhibitor. ELOVL6-IN-2 inhibits mouse ELOVL6 activities, with an IC50 value of 34 nM[1].
ELOVL6-IN-2 (0.1~1mg/kg; p.o.; 2 hours) potently and dose-proportionally suppresses the elongation index in the liver[1].ELOVL6-IN-2 (10mg/kg; p.o.; 2 hours) demonstrates highly liver penetrable[1].ELOVL6-IN-2 (1mg/kg; p.o.; 2~24 hours) exhibits sustained plasma exposure[1].
