Abstract: DGAT2 plays a critical role in hepatic triglyceride production, and data suggests that inhibition of DGAT2 could prove to be beneficial in treating a number of disease states. This article documents the discovery and optimization of a selective small molecule inhibitor of DGAT2 as well as pharmacological proof of biology in a mouse model of triglyceride production.
