About Aramchol and Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis
(NASH)
Aramchol (arachidyl amido cholanoic acid) is a novel fatty acid
bile acid conjugate, inducing beneficial modulation of
intra-hepatic lipid metabolism. Aramchol's ability to modulate
hepatic lipid metabolism was discovered and validated in animal
models, demonstrating downregulation of the three key pathologies
of NASH: steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis. The effect of
Aramchol on fibrosis is mediated by downregulation of steatosis and
directly on human collagen producing cells. Aramchol has been
granted Fast Track designation status by the FDA for the treatment
of NASH.
NASH is an emerging world crisis impacting an estimated 3% to 5%
of the U.S. population and an estimated 2% to 4% globally. It is
the fastest growing cause of liver cancer and liver transplant in
the U.S. due to the rise in obesity. NASH is the progressive form
of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that can lead to
cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis and liver-related mortality.

biopharmaceutical company for liver, metabolic and inflammatory
