De novo lipogenesis (DNL) drives sebum production in sebocytes, and FASN is a key enzyme in the DNL pathway. In preclinical studies, FASN inhibitors reduced sebum-related lipids in human sebocytes, demonstrating that FASN inhibition offers a potential mechanism of action to treat acne.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Sagimet Biosciences<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Sagimet is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel FASN inhibitors designed to target dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways in conditions resulting from the overproduction of the fatty acid, palmitate.
