Eprotirome (KB2115) is a thyroid hormone mimetic developed at Karo Bio AB (Huddinge, Sweden). Eprotirome has a 22-fold higher affinity for thyroid hormone receptor (TR)β in comparison with TRα. It lowers plasma LDL cholesterol and stimulates bile acid synthesis. Eprotirome can lower LDL cholesterol concentrations in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia when added to conventional statin treatment with or without ezetimibe, but that it has the potential to induce liver injury. These findings, along with findings of cartilage damage in dogs, raise serious doubts about selective thyroid hormone mimetics as a therapeutic approach to lower LDL cholesterol concentrations. Eprotirome development was discontinued.
