Repositioning of a Novel GABA-B Receptor Agonist, AZD3355 (Lesogaberan), for the Treatment of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis
2021-04-12
Abstract excerpt
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a rising health challenge, with no approved drugs. We used a computational drug repositioning strategy to uncover a novel therapy for NASH, identifying a GABA-B receptor agonist, AZD3355 (lesogaberan) previously evaluated as a therapy for esophageal reflux. AZD3355’s potential efficacy in NASH was tested in human stellate cells, human precision cut liver slices (hPCLS), and...
