  • Patent number: 11926618
    Abstract: A compound of formula (I) or an optical isomer thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, aquo-complexes or non-aqueous-solvent complexes thereof are provided. Experiments prove that, compared with a control compound MGL-3196, the compound of formula (I), which is obtained through specific substitution sites and specific substitution types, is higher in agonist activity to THR-beta and significantly improved in selectivity on THR-beta/THR-alpha. The compound can be used in preparing THR-beta agonist and drugs for treating adaption diseases (including dyslipidemia, hypercholesteremia, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) applicable to the THR-beta agonist.
