Abstract

17-β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) is a lipid droplet protein primarily expressed in the liver hepatocytes. HSD17B13 is associated with the clinical outcome of chronic liver diseases and is therefore a target for the development of drugs. Here, we demonstrate the promising therapeutic effect of BI-3231 as a potent inhibitor of HSD17B13 based on its ability to inhibit triglyceride accumulation in lipid droplets (LDs), restore lipid metabolism and homeostasis, and increase mitochondrial activity in vitro.
