Arhalofenate is a uricosuric drug which lowers serum urate by blocking its reabsorption by the proximal tubules of the kidney. Arhalofenate activity is mediated by inhibition of URAT1, OAT4 and OAT10. Additionally, arhalofenate has been suggested to exert potent anti-inflammatory activity. Arhalofenate has completed Phase 2 and is ready to advance to Phase 3 as a novel potential treatment for gout. The drug was also tested in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (phase III study), where it demonstrated its ability to lower glucose level, acting as a selective, partial PPAR-gamma agonist. However, the development of arhalofenate as an anti-diabetic drug was terminated.
