- The presentation titled PXL065, Pioglitazone (pio), and Thiazolidinediones (TZDs): Unravelling Pios superior efficacy for NASH and role of stereoisomers was given on January 5, 2019 in Park City, Utah.
- The presentation also included data showing that PXL065 is a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor without PPAR activity in a cofactor recruitment assay.
- In preclinical models, PXL065 exhibited little or no weight gain or fluid retention, side effects mainly associated with the PPAR active, S-pioglitazone.
- PXL065 (deuterium-stabilized R-pioglitazone), a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor, is in Phase 1 and being developed for the treatment of NASH.
