Resmetirom
Selective agonism at the beta isoform of the thyroid hormone receptor, concentrated in the liver, is the design principle of resmetirom. Activating hepatic THR-beta increases fatty acid oxidation, reduces lipogenesis and improves mitochondrial function, addressing the metabolic dysfunction that drives non-alcoholic steatohepatitis rather than its downstream inflammation alone. Restricting activity to the beta isoform and to hepatic tissue is what avoids the systemic thyrotoxic effects that would follow unselective thyroid receptor stimulation. Approval covers adults with noncirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis accompanied by moderate to advanced liver fibrosis. The compound is C17H12Cl2N6O4 with a molecular weight near 435.2 g/mol, developed through the final clinical phase.
Resmetirom is a liver-targeted, selective thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist that activates hepatic THR-β to increase hepatic fatty acid oxidation, reduce hepatic lipogenesis, and improve mitochondrial function, directly addressing the metabolic dysfunction driving non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is approved for the treatment of adults with noncirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis.
