Agonists of thyroid hormone receptor β (THR-β) decreased LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels in human clinical trials for patients with dyslipidemia. The authors present the highly potent and selective compound ALG-055009 (14) as a potential best in class THR-β agonist. The high metabolic stability and good permeability translated well in vivo to afford a long in vivo half-life pharmacokinetic profile with limited liability for DDI, and it overcomes certain drawbacks seen in recent clinical candidates.
