This study introduces a scalable synthetic platform to engineer novel FAHFA derivatives with enhanced stability through bioisosteric modifications (e.g., amide, triazole bonds). Screening identified 12-TAASA and 12-HDTZSA as lead compounds, demonstrating potent inhibition of lipid uptake in hepatic cells without compromising glucose absorption. In a diet-induced obesity mouse model, oral administration of these derivatives reduced weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and attenuated ectopic lipid deposition, rivaling the efficacy of semaglutide. Mechanistically, 12-TAASA and 12-HDTZSA remodeled the gut microbiome by enriching SCFA producing taxa. 12-TAASA also suppressed intestinal lipid absorption via transcriptomic regulation of key genes. These findings position synthetic FAHFAs as dual-action therapeutics, targeting both host lipid metabolism and gut microbiota dysbiosis, offering a promising strategy for obesity and metabolic disorders.2026/06/18GSE296368GSM8969229GSM8969248GSM8969237GSM8969226GSM8969236GSM8969247GSM8969239GSM8969228GSM8969249GSM8969238GSM8969227GSM8969244GSM8969233GSM8969243GSM8969232GSM8969235GSM8969246GSM8969245GSM8969234GSM8969240GSM8969242GSM8969231GSM8969241GSM896923028330296368Mus musculus[41485679]
