Description

Tropifexor (LJN452) is a highly potent agonist of FXR with an EC50 of 0.2 nM[1].

IC50 & Target

EC50: 0.2 nM (FXR)

In Vitro

Tropifexor (compound 1) is a novel and highly potent agonist of FXR with an EC50 of 0.2 nM. Robust induction of both BSEP and SHP genes is observed in primary cells by Tropifexor in a concentration-dependent manner.
BSEP induction above vehicle (DMSO) control is observed at concentrations as low as 1 nM, while strong induction of SHP (15-fold above vehicle) is observed at 10 nM and modest induction of SHP at 1 nM (3-fold)[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Tropifexor (compound 1) demonstrates highly potent induction of SHP and FGF15 in the ileum as doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg. In the liver, robust induction of SHP is observed at 0.01 mg/kg of Tropifexor with maximal levels of gene induction achieved at 0.3 mg/kg. Expression of CYP8B1 mRNA following 14 day treatment with Tropifexor is already apparent at the lowest dose (0.003 mg/kg), and CYP8B1 gene expression is fully repressed at doses above 0.03 mg/kg.
Treatment of rats with Tropifexor exhibits a clear dose-dependent increase in plasma FGF15 protein, with maximal levels of FGF15 detected at 7 h postdose.
Treatment with Tropifexor for 14 days produces a robust dose-dependent reduction in serum triglycerides and reaches a maximal response with a 0.3 mg/kg dose, resulting in a decrease of triglyceride levels to approximately 79% below the vehicle control group[1].

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:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.14 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.14 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

Primary rat hepatocytes are plated in 24 well plates and incubated with a 5 point dose response of Tropifexor (compound 1) for 24 hours. RNA is harvested from the cells using the RNeasy 96 kit. Quantitative PCR is performed. The fold change of the transcript over no stimulation is calculated using the ΔΔCt method, with DMSO (vehicle control) being no stimulation[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Adult male wild-type Sprague-Dawley rats are used in this study. All animals are fasted for 3 hours before oral dosing with Tropifexor (compound 1) or with vehicle. Tropifexor is administered orally using a range of four doses (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 mg/kg) and compare directly to the vehicle control group (vehicle: 0.5% methylcellulose, 0.5% Tween 80, 99% water, suspension). Animals are sacrificed seven hours after dosing using CO2, liver, ileum and whole blood (in heparinized tubes) samples are collected for analysis[1].

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.
