MediciNova Reports Positive Results for Tipelukast in Cholesterol Metabolism Study

MediciNova Inc. announced the publication of a new research article in the Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis detailing the effects of tipelukast (MN-001) and its metabolite MN-002 on cholesterol metabolism. The study demonstrated that MN-002 significantly enhanced cholesterol efflux in macrophages by upregulating the transport proteins ABCA1 and ABCG1, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis and other metabolic disorders. Previous clinical studies indicated that MN-001 improved serum lipid profiles in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hypertriglyceridemia, with notable effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. MediciNova is currently conducting a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 study in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, type 2 diabetes, and NAFLD, with enrollment nearing completion. Results from this ongoing clinical trial have not yet been presented.
