Herein we describe the synthesis and structure activity relationship of a new class of FXR agonists identified from a high-throughput screening campaign. Further optimization of the original hits led to molecules that were highly active in an LDL-receptor KO model for dyslipidemia. The most promising candidate is discussed in more detail.

Obesity due to excessive body fat accumulation remains a global problem. Patients with obesity have high cortisol levels, and its dysregulation is caused by increased 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) levels. The effects and mechanism of J2H-1702, an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were explored.

Background And Aims: Several randomized clinical trials have been conducted assessing the potential efficacy of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A comprehensive review and analysis were needed to evaluate the findings of these trials. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to study the association between FXR agonists and hepatic outcomes in patients with MASLD.

This study investigated whether the galactooligosaccharide (GOS)-metabolism-related genes (GOS-cluster) in contribute to alleviating glucose and lipid metabolic disorders in type 2 diabetic mice. Genomic analysis of 69 strains based on the GOS-cluster, combined with in vitro fermentation experiments, revealed that high-GOS-cluster strains (≥24 MFS, ≥39 GOS-cluster) demonstrated superior GOS utilization and bile salt tolerance. In vivo the high-GOS-cluster strains resulted in a significant reduction of blood glucose levels by 18.

FXR, encoded by Nh1r4, is a nuclear receptor crucial in regulating bile acid, lipid, and glucose metabolism. Prior research has indicated that activating FXR in the liver and small intestine may offer protection against obesity and metabolic diseases. This study demonstrates the essential role of the FXR-ApoC2 pathway in promoting the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT).

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor, is expressed in calvaria and bone marrow stromal cells and plays a role in bone homeostasis. However, the mechanism of FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanism underlying FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation using bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-induced mouse ST-2 mesenchymal stem cells.
