Biliverdin Reductase inhibitors did not improve severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in vivo
Abstract We aimed to identify potent biliverdin reductase (BVRA) inhibitors as a novel concept for the treatment of severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. 1280 FDA-approved compounds were screened in vitro for their ability to inhibit human and rat BVRA activity and 26 compounds were identified a...
