Description

Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) is an ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitor^[1]. Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) activates AMPK^[2].

IC₅₀ & Target^[1]

AMPK

In Vitro

Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) activates AMP-activated protein kinase in a Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent kinase β-independent and liver kinase β 1-dependent manner, without detectable changes in adenylate energy charge. Bempedoic acid is shown to rapidly form a CoA thioester in liver, which directly inhibits ATP-citrate lyase^[1]. In cells treated with Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002), increased levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation coincide with reduced activity of MAP kinases and decreased production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines^[2].

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

In Vivo

A marked and sustained increase in AMPK and ACC phosphorylation is found in rat livers following two weeks of treatment with Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002). Bempedoic acid is >100-fold more prevalent than the CoA thioester in rat liver and is associated with AMPK activation^[1]. Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) suppresses thioglycollate-induced homing of leukocytes into mouse peritoneal cavity. In a mouse model of diet-induced obesity, Bempedoic acid restores adipose AMPK activity, reduces JNK phosphorylation, and diminishes expression of macrophage-specific marker 4F/80^[2].

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.

Cell Assay ^[1]	Glucose production is measured in primary rat hepatocyte cultures. Cells are cultured in glucose- and phenol red-free DMEM, containing 10 mM lactate, 1 mM pyruvate, and nonessential amino acids. Cells are incubated with various concentrations of Bempedoic acid (0.1 to 100 μM)^[1]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration ^[1]	Rats: Prior to single-dose Bempedoic acid administration, Male Wistar Han rats are fasted for 48 h and refed a high-carbohydrate diet for an additional 48 h. For two-week assessment, rats are maintained on standard chow diet and dosed by oral gavage with Bempedoic acid at 30 mg/kg/day for two weeks in the morning. Following nutritional staging and/or dosing, food is withdrawn 2 h prior to last the oral dose of ehicle control or Bempedoic acid^[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.
