Title:
AMELIORATING AGENT FOR OBESITY-RELATED METABOLIC DISEASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/050290
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medicine which contains a small-molecule compound as an active ingredient, and which can exhibit an activity to ameliorate an obesity-related metabolic disease, e.g., an anti-obesity activity, without decreasing the amount of food intake upon the binding to Helz2 to decrease the activity of Helz2, wherein Helz2 is a substance which can be expressed strongly in the liver in both of a human and a mouse and of which the expression amount significantly increases in the liver of a human suffering from NAFLD that is an obesity-related metabolic disease and the fatty liver of a mouse suffering from obesity. The present invention provides: an ameliorating agent for an obesity-related metabolic disease, particularly an ameliorating agent for fatty liver, characterized by containing guanabenz or a salt thereof as an active ingredient.
