简介 |
Disclosed herein are novel indazole-based compounds that inhibit fructokinase (aka ketohexokinase) and the downstream metabolic effects mediated by fructose metabolism. Fructokinase inhibitors specifically block the metabolism of both dietary and endogenous fructose metabolism and have a host of potential metabolic benefits. These benefits including blocking sugar craving and sugar induced metabolic syndrome and diabetes, but also blocking fructose metabolism can benefit the rare orphan disease Hereditary Fructose Intolerance, obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, hypertension, cardiac injury from ischemia, certain cancers (including hepatocellular and pancreas), acute kidney injury from ischemia, heat stress, rhabdomyolysis or radiocontrast, and chronic diabetic and nondiabetic renal disease. |
