| Bioactivity | RG-7152 is a tetrazolyl-substituted leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist that can induce peroxisomal β-oxidation and peroxisome bifunctional enzymes (PBEs) in hepatocytes in various animal models. It has been shown to significantly increase PBE levels and β-oxidation activity in rat and mouse liver homogenates, while smaller effects were observed in guinea pigs and monkeys and no effect in dogs. In vitro studies have also shown that it can induce PBEs comparable to clofibric acid, indicating its potential as a peroxisome proliferator[1]. |
