Biochem/physiol Actions

Sobetirome is also termed as 2-(4-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-isopropylbenzyl)-3,5-dimethylphenoxy)acetic acid/ GC-1. It has an inner-ring and negatively charged carboxylate groups at physiological pH. Sobetirome is considered as a cholesterol lowering agent in humans.
Sobetirome is an orally active and potent agonist at thyroid hormone receptor (TR) β and TRα that displays selective tissue action.
Sobetirome is an orally active and potent agonist at thyroid hormone receptor (TR) β and TRα that displays selective tissue action. Sobetirome is devoid of thyrotoxic adverse effects on the heart, bone, and skeletal muscle.

Sobetirome binds selectively to the main hepatic form of thyroid hormone (TH) receptor, TRβ1, compared to TRα1, which is principally responsible for thyrotoxic effects on heart, muscle and bone. Sobetirome also preferentially accumulates in liver. It was originally envisaged that

Thyroid hormone reduces plasma cholesterol and increases expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) in liver, an effect mediated by thyroid receptor β (TRβ). The selective TRβ modulator GC-1 also enhances several steps in reverse cholesterol transport and can decrease serum
