Description

Fexaramine is a potent and selective FXR agonist with an EC50 of 25 nM. Fexaramine has no activity against hRXRα, hPPARαγδ, mPXR, hPXR, hLXRα, hTRβ, hRARβ, mCAR, mERRγ, and hVDR receptors[1][2].

In Vitro

Bile acid treatment is performed in HuTu-80 cells with Fexaramine (5, 25, and 50 μM) for 24 h. Fexaramine (50 μM) increases small heterodimer partner (SHP) transcript levels by 2.1-fold. The cells are treated with various concentrations of Fexaramine, and the endogenous secretin transcript levels are significantly reduced (33% in 50 μM Fexaramine). Fexaramine treatment also significantly suppresses secretin promoter activity by 32%[1].

In Vivo

Fexaramine treatment of DIO mice produces a striking metabolic profile that includes reduced weight gain, decreased inflammation, browning of WAT and increased insulin sensitization[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  5% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    50% Saline

    Solubility: 2.75 mg/mL (5.54 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.03 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
