T0901317 is a potent, high affinity liver X receptors (LXRs) agonist. It upregulates expression of the ABCA1 gene associated with cholesterol efflux regulation and high-density lipoproteins metabolism. It also exhibits inverse agonist activity at constitutive androstane receptors (CARs). T0901317 activates bile acid farnesoid X receptors (FXRs), and it is 10-fold more potent than natural FXR ligand chenodeoxycholic acid.
