Aclimostat (ZGN-1061) is a potent inhibitor of the MetAP2 enzyme and displays favorable efficacy and safety in preclinical studies. ZGN-1061 produced similar efficacy as beloranib for weight loss, improvements in metabolic parameters in a mouse model of obesity and insulin resistance, and concordant changes in gene transcription in HepG2 cells.
