S217879
S217879 is an orally active and selective NRF2 activator. S217879 activates the NRF2 pathway by specifically disrupting the KEAP1 (Kd: 4.15 nM)-NRF2 interaction, and upregulates the antioxidant response. S217879 also ameliorates steatohepatitis and reduces the degree of liver fibrosis. S217879 can be used in the research of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Biological Activity
S217879 (0.1-10000 nM) potently induces nuclear translocation of NRF2 in U2OS KEAP1-NRF2 cells, with an EC50 of 23 nM[1].
S217879 (0.1-10000 nM) potently activates ARE-regulated transcription in HepG2 ARE-BLA cells, with an EC50 of 18 nM[1].
S217879 (1 μM; overnight pre-incubation) significantly reduces H2O2-induced ROS production in HepG2 cells[1].
S217879 (0.1-1000 nM; 6 h) potently upregulates the expression of the Nqo1 gene in primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), with an EC50 of 16 nM[1].
S217879 (30-1000 nM; 4 h) significantly inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-induced secretion of IL-1β and MCP-1 in primary human PBMCs, with an IC50 of < 30 nM[1].

Treatment with S217879 (30 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 8 weeks) significantly ameliorates established non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and reduces hepatic fibrosis in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice with NASH[1].

-
Animal Model:C57BL/6J mice (8-week-old male; MCDD-induced NASH model)[1]
-
Dosage:3 mg/kg/day; 30 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:p.o.; daily; 2 weeks
-
Result:Reduced NAFLD activity score (NAS) in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced steatosis and lobular inflammation scores at 30 mg/kg/day.
Increased liver Nqo1 mRNA levels (NRF2 target engagement biomarker) in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced liver triglycerides in a dose-dependent manner.
Caused a small but significant increase in liver weight.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6JRj mice (5-6-week-old male; aged to 38-39 weeks at termination; AMLN diet-induced NASH with fibrosis model, pre-treatment confirmed fibrosis stage >1 and steatosis score ≥2)[1]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; daily; 8 weeks
-
Result:Reduced plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels significantly.
Reduced liver triglyceride levels.
Reduced NAS significantly due to decreased lobular inflammation.
Decreased liver galectin-3 staining significantly.
Markedly reduced liver fibrosis, shown by decreased Picrosirius red (PSR) staining, reduced liver hydroxyproline content, reduced collagen 1A1 (Col1A1)-positive area, and reduced alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA)-positive area.
