Posted by Evotec on Feb 15, 2021 1:14:31 PM

Fasiglifam (TAK-875) is a GPR40 agonist which was developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, during Phase III clinical trials, it was withdrawn due to adverse liver effects.

In this poster, we focus on:

  • deciphering the mechanism of hepatotoxicity of fasiglifam (TAK-875)
  • understanding the impact of plasma protein binding and mitochondrial effects by fasiglifam using the Seahorse flux analyser platform
