| General Comments |
| DGAT1 catalyzes the final committed step in triglyceride synthesis and is believed to play a key role in whole body energy homeostasis [6]. Inhibition of DGAT1 represents a novel approach to treat metabolic disease and obesity [5,12] and as such has become the focus of intense interest from the pharmaceutical industry [3-4,8,11]. Their efforts have lead to the development of many novel DGAT1 inhibitors, some of which are reaching the clinic. Unfortunately many of the lead compounds are associated with adverse gastrointestinal events [7], so medicinal chemists are working to elucidate the underlying mechanism to develop novel compounds which will circumvent this undesireable action. |
