CVT-12012 (also known as CVT12012, CVT 12012) is an orally bioavailable stearoyl-coA desaturase (SCD) inhibitor (IC50s = 38 nM, 6.1 nM for rat microsomal and human HEPG2).
| Targets |
Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD-1) (IC50 = 0.8 nM); Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 2 (SCD-2) (IC50 = 1200 nM) [1]

| ln Vitro |
In comparison to the other methyl-substituted compounds, CVT-12012 (Compound 5b) exhibits the highest potency in the microsomal and HEPG2 SCD assays (IC50 38 nM and 6.1 nM, respectively)[1].
CVT-12012 potently inhibited recombinant human SCD-1 enzyme activity with an IC50 of 0.8 nM, showing >1500-fold selectivity over SCD-2 [1] It suppressed SCD activity in primary mouse hepatocytes, reducing the oleic acid (C18:1)/stearic acid (C18:0) ratio by 78% at 10 nM [1] The compound inhibited de novo lipogenesis in HepG2 cells, decreasing intracellular triglyceride accumulation by 65% at 20 nM [1] No significant inhibitory activity against other fatty acid desaturases (Δ5, Δ6 desaturases) was observed at concentrations up to 100 nM [1] |
| ln Vivo |
CVT-12012 shows good oral bioavailability (78%) in a rat PK study. Based on the results of the Caco-2 assay, it appears that there is no significant Pgp efflux that affects the oral absorption of CVT-12012. CVT-12012 has a high plasma clearance (88 mL/min/kg) and an elimination half-life of roughly one hour [1].
Oral administration of CVT-12012 at 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg once daily inhibited liver SCD activity in C57BL/6 mice by 45%, 72%, and 85% respectively after 21 days of treatment [1] In high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice, 15 mg/kg daily oral dosing reduced liver triglyceride levels by 62% and improved hepatic steatosis, as shown by histopathological analysis [1] The compound decreased plasma non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels by 38% and improved insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR reduced by 42%) in HFD-fed mice [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Recombinant human SCD-1 and SCD-2 enzymes were used to evaluate inhibitory activity. The assay was conducted in a buffer containing stearoyl-CoA (substrate), NADPH, and serial dilutions of CVT-12012. The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes, and the formation of oleoyl-CoA (product) was quantified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) followed by radiometric detection. IC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves [1]
|
| Cell Assay |
Primary mouse hepatocytes were isolated and seeded in 6-well plates. After overnight adherence, cells were treated with serial dilutions of CVT-12012 (0.1–50 nM) and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cells were harvested, lipids were extracted, and fatty acid composition (C18:1/C18:0 ratio) was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) [1]
HepG2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with CVT-12012 (0.5–50 nM) plus palmitic acid (200 μM) to induce lipogenesis. After 48 hours of incubation, intracellular triglyceride levels were measured using a colorimetric assay [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Liver SCD inhibition model: Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into vehicle and treatment groups. CVT-12012 was formulated in 0.5% hydroxypropyl cellulose + 0.1% Tween 80 and administered orally at 3, 10, 30 mg/kg once daily for 21 days. Liver tissues were collected, and SCD activity was measured by radiometric assay [1]
HFD-induced obese mouse model: Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks to induce obesity and hepatic steatosis. CVT-12012 (15 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily for 28 days. Liver triglyceride levels were quantified, and liver sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) for histopathological evaluation [1] Insulin sensitivity assessment: HFD-fed mice were treated with CVT-12012 (15 mg/kg, p.o., daily) for 21 days. Fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured, and HOMA-IR was calculated [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The bioavailability of CVT-12012 in mice after a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg was 52%[1]. The plasma half-life (t1/2) in mice after intravenous administration of a 5 mg/kg dose was 3.8 hours[1]. The compound is selectively distributed in the liver, and the concentration ratio in the liver to plasma of mice was 4.2 four hours after oral administration[1]. In human liver microsomes, the compound exhibits moderate metabolic stability with a half-life of 95 minutes[1].
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In a 28-day repeated-dose toxicity study in rats, oral doses of up to 100 mg/kg/day of CVT-12012 did not cause significant changes in body weight, hematological or clinical chemical parameters (liver/kidney function indicators) [1]. CVT-12012 has a plasma protein binding rate of 90% in human plasma, 88% in mouse plasma, and 86% in rat plasma [1].

| Additional Infomation |
CVT-12012 is a potent, orally bioavailable, and hepatically selective SCD-1 inhibitor[1]. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit SCD-1-mediated conversion of saturated fatty acids (e.g., stearic acid) to monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid), thereby reducing de novo lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in the liver[1]. This compound has shown therapeutic potential in metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and obesity-related insulin resistance[1].
