Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to methods for identifying agents capable of effectively inhibiting inflammatory disease activity and / or cholesterol biosynthesis, as well as preparation and use of compositions containing the agents for the prevention and / or treatment of conditions associated with inflammatory disease activity and / or cholesterol biosynthesis Methods, such as atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, etc. The present invention relates to agents that are potent inhibitors of inflammatory gene activity and / or cholesterol biosynthesis. For example, the invention relates to inhibitors of nuclear receptors, such as short heterodimeric protein (SHP) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR). The present invention relates to compositions containing such inhibitors, including compositions effective for the prevention and / or treatment of diseases or conditions associated with inflammatory gene expression and / or cholesterol biosyn...
