Emricasan (IDN-6556, PF-03491390) is a potential drug invented in 1998 by Idun Pharmaceuticals.[1][2] The drug was acquired by Pfizer in 2005[3] and then sold to Conatus Pharmaceuticals in 2010.[1] Conatus in turn licensed emricasan to Novartis in 2017 for exclusive development and commercialization.[4]

The substance acts as a pan-caspase inhibitor and has antiapoptotic and antiinflammatory effects.[4] It was developed for the treatment of liver disease[5] and has been granted fast track designation by the FDA for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis[6][7][8] The substance is the first pan-caspase inhibitor to advance to broad clinical testing, and its novel mechanism of action has led to research using it for other potential applications.[9][10]
