ASC41 is a thyromimetic prodrug metabolized in the liver by CYP3A4 to an active form, ASC41-A, that is selective for thyroid hormone receptor beta. It is developed for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.[1] In 2023, Viking Therapeutics filed a lawsuit against ASC41's developer, Chinese company Ascletis BioScience, accusing it of stealing Viking's trade secrets to develop ASC41 which is allegedly similar to, or identical to, VK2809.[2][3]
