BMS-309403 is a potent and selective inhibitor of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), also known as adipocyte FABP (A-FABP, aP2). FABP4 is an intracellular lipid-binding protein responsible for the transportation of fatty acids. It is expressed primarily in adipose tissue and is associated with inflammation, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. BMS309403 interacts with the fatty-acid-binding pocket within the interior of FABP4 and has been shown to competitively inhibit fatty acid binding with a Ki value < 2 nM. BMS309403 is orally active and has been shown to reduce atherosclerosis in mice studies.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic degenerative disorder characterized by lipid-dense plaques and low-grade inflammation affecting arterial walls. Foamy macrophages are important in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and the induction of low-grade inflammation. The presence of lipid-laden macrophages has occurred in
Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury. Protein S-glutathionylation plays an important role in cellular antioxidant defense. Here we report that the expression of deglutathionylation enzyme Grx1 is decreased in the lungs of acute lung injury mice.
