Question: What is the mechanism of action of Lanifibranor?

Context: These cell systems were then used to evaluate the anti-NASH properties of eight peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists (bezafibrate, elafibranor, fenofibrate, lanifibranor, pemafibrate, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, and saroglitazar).
The pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor reduces development of lung fibrosis and attenuates cardiorespiratory manifestations in a transgenic mouse model of systemic sclerosis.
We have examined peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway perturbation in this model and explored the impact of the pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor on the cardiorespiratory phenotype.
Pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor improves portal hypertension and hepatic fibrosis in experimental advanced chronic liver disease.
Given the current lack of an effective treatment, we aimed to characterise the effects of the pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (pan-PPAR) agonist lanifibranor in 2 preclinical models of ACLD, as well as in liver cells from patients with ACLD.
This explains the manifold metabolic pathways as antifibrotic targets, including farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonism (obeticholic acid, nonsteroidal FXR agonists), acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibition, peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor agonism (elafibranor, lanifibranor, saroglitazar), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-21 or FGF-19 activation.
While several promising drug candidates failed in phase 2 or 3 clinical trials (including elafibranor, emricasan and selonsertib), promising results with the farnesoid X receptor agonist obeticholic acid, the pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor and the chemokine receptor CCR2/CCR5 inhibitor cenicriviroc support the expectation of an effective pharmacological therapy for liver fibrosis in the near future.
Starting with a PPARα activator, compound 4, identified during a high throughput screening (HTS) of our proprietary screening library, a systematic optimization led to the discovery of lanifibranor (IVA337) 5, a moderately potent and well balanced pan PPAR agonist with an excellent safety profile.
Lanifibranor (IVA337), a panPPAR agonist, by acting on these three different PPAR isotypes, combines pharmacological effects that could address the different components of the disease as demonstrated in preclinical models.
Lanifibranor is a pan-PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) agonist that modulates key metabolic, inflammatory, and fibrogenic pathways in the pathogenesis of NASH.

Lanifibranor is a pan-PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) agonist that modulates key metabolic, inflammatory, and fibrogenic pathways in the pathogenesis of NASH.METHODS: In this phase 2b, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, patients with noncirrhotic, highly active NASH were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 1200 mg or 800 mg of lanifibranor or placebo onc

Lanifibranor attenuated the accompanying inflammatory activation in both murine palmitic acid-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages, as well as patient-derived circulating monocytes, in a PPARδ-dependent fashion.CONCLUSION: Pan-PPAR agonists combine the beneficial effects of selective PPAR agonists and may counteract in
