Receptor-related orphan receptor ¦Ã (ROR¦Ã) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. XY123 potently inhibits the ROR¦Ã transcription activity with an IC₅₀ value of 64 nM. XY123 demonstrates good metabolic stability and a pharmacokinetics property with reasonable oral bioavailability (32.41%) and moderate half-life (4.98 h). 

All liver microsome assays were performed by Medicilon.
