Asengeprast (development code FT011) is an experimental scleroderma drug candidate.[1] It is a small molecule inhibitor of the G-protein coupled receptor GPR68 with antifibrotic activity.[2] It is being developed by Certa Therapeutics.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug status to FT011, for systemic sclerosis (SSc).[3]

Asengeprast has been reported to attenuate fibrosis and chronic heart failure in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy.[4] Asengeprast can also inhibit kidney fibrosis and prevent kidney failure.[5] It was developed by structure-activity optimization of the antifibrotic activity of cinnamoyl anthranilates, by assessment of their ability to prevent TGF-beta-stimulated production of collagen.[6]
