A synthetic thyroid hormone mimetic that lowers total and LDL cholesterol up to 40% when administered to humans at a dose of 50-200 µg once daily for 14 days; stimulates cholesterol catabolism to bile acids without affecting cholesterol synthesis

The thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), promote the reduction of plasma cholesterol levels and induce weight loss. However when administered in high doses, thyroid hormones produce undesirable side effects in the heart, bone and muscle. KB2115 is a synthetic thyroid hormone mimetic. At a dose of 50-200 µg administered to humans once-daily for 14 days, KB2115 lowers total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol up to 40% without affecting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and without deleterious side effects to the cardiovascular system.{15145} Unlike the statin class of drugs which decrease cholesterol synthesis, KB2115 stimulates cholesterol catabolism to bile acids without affecting cholesterol synthesis.{15145}

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity.
