| Source Type: | investigational |
| Compound Type: | small molecule |
| Compound Name: | Ertiprotafib |
| Synonyms: | Ertiprotafib |
| Molecular Formula: | C31H27BrO3S |
| SMILES: | CC1=C(C)C2=C(C3=CC(C)=C(O[C@H](CC4=CC=CC=C4)C(O)=O)C(C)=C3)C3=CC=CC=C3C(Br)=C2S1 |
| Structure: |
|
| DrugBank Description: | Ertiprotafib belongs to a novel class of insulin sensitizers developed for treatment of type 2 diabetes. In insulin-resistant rodent models, ertiprotafib and a close analog lowered both fasting blood glucose and insulin levels and improved glycemic excursion during an oral glucose tolerance test. |
| CAS Number: | 251303-04-5 |
| Molecular Weight: | 559.52 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in diabetes mellitus type 2. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | -- |
| DrugBank MoA: | The complete mechanism of action for ertiprotafib and related compounds in vivo may involve multiple independent mechanisms, including (but not necessarily limited to) PTP1b inhibition and dual PPARalpha/PPARgamma agonism. |
| Targets: | Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 1; Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit beta; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma |
| Inclusion Criteria: | Target associated |
