Orally-Administered Caspase Inhibitor PF-03491390 Is Retained in the Liver for Prolonged Periods With Low Systemic Exposure, Exerting a Hepatoprotective Effect Against α-Fas-Induced Liver Injury in a Mouse Model

In a mouse model of α-Fas-induced acute liver injury, the orally-administered caspase inhibitor PF-03491390 (formerly named IDN-6556) was retained in the liver for prolonged periods with a low systemic exposure. Reductions in the elevated plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) revealed that...
