A first-in-class pulsatile FXR agonist for bile-acid-related liver diseases
Abstract Nuclear receptors are central regulators of metabolism1, yet therapeutic strategies that enforce continuous receptor activation frequently lead to reduced efficacy and unacceptable toxicity. Here we report a first-principles drug design strategy that aligns pharmacokinetics with physiological signalling cycles. We developed linafexor, a potent non-bile-acid agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)2; it is engineered for rapid systemic clearance, which enables pulsatile receptor...
Sleep apnea’s hidden heart disease trigger found in the gut
Sleep apnea’s hidden heart disease trigger found in the gut - Date: - June 9, 2026 - Source: - American Society for Microbiology - Summary: - A surprising gut-heart connection may help explain why sleep apnea increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. In mice, disabling a bile acid receptor called FXR sharply reduced plaque buildup, opening the door to potential new treatments based on gut microbes and their chemical signals. - Share: Millions of people worldwide live with obstructive...
