Aramchol (arachidyl amido cholanoic acid; Galmed) is a conjugate of cholic acid and arachidic acid, and belongs to the synthetic fatty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs) family. Aramchol inhibits the liver enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 inhibitor (SCD1), and as a result fatty acid synthesis is reduced while fatty acid oxidation is increased. Additionally, Aramchol has hypocholesterolemic effects due to the upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1). Ultimately, Aramchol causes incomplete SCD inhibition while also being anti-atherogenic.
