LXR
Liver X receptor
LXRs (Liver X Receptor α and β) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs are oxysterol-activated transcription factors that upregulate a suite of genes that together promote coordinated mobilization of excess cholesterol from cells and from the body. The LXRs, like other nuclear receptors, are anti-inflammatory, inhibiting signal-dependent induction of pro-inflammatory genes by nuclear factor-κB, activating protein-1, and other transcription factors.
LXRα is expressed predominately in some tissues, including the liver, kidney, macrophages, and adipose tissue. However, LXRβ is ubiquitously expressed. Activating LXRα (mainly expressed in liver) results in high triglyceride production, and growing evidence suggests that selective LXRβ agonists can reduce this side effect.

TLC-2716
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-182014CAS No.: 2408041-54-1TLC-2716 is an orally available, gut- and liver-restricted inhibitor against LXRα and LXRβ, with EC50 values of 7 nM and 15 nM, respectively. TLC-2716 represses LXRα/β transcriptional activity, downregulates genes involved in lipogenesis, lipid absorption and lipoprotein metabolism, and preserves peripheral reverse cholesterol transport. TLC-2716 reduces lipid accumulation, suppresses inflammation and fibrotic gene expression, enhances triglyceride-rich lipoprotein clearance, and improves glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. TLC-2716 lowers serum and hepatic triglycerides, plasma cholesterol and other atherogenic lipid profiles in experimental models and humanized liver mice. TLC-2716 can be used for the research of dyslipidemia and related cardiometabolic disorders.

AU403
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-184474AU403 is a potent, brain-penetrant, isoform-selective LXRβ/PPARδ dual agonist (EC50 ≈ 45 nM for LXRβ and EC50 ≈ 40 nM for PPARδ). AU403 is designed to bypass LXRα-driven hepatotoxicity. AU403 significantly improves cognitive functions and reduces amyloid-β plaque burden in 3xTg-AD mice. AU403 is a promising dual-acting agonist for the research of Alzheimer’s disease.

24(S)-Hydroxycholesterol
0 Images24(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC), the major brain cholesterol metabolite, plays an important role to maintain homeostasis of cholesterol in the brain. 24(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC) is one of the most efficient endogenous LXR agonist known and is present in the brain and in the circulation at relatively high levels. 24(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC) is a very potent, direct, and selective positive allosteric modulator of NMDARs with a mechanism that does not overlapthat of other allosteric modulators.

Desmosterol
0 ImagesDesmosterol is a cholesterol-like molecule. In the Bloch pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, Desmosterol is a direct precursor of cholesterol. As an endogenous metabolite, Desmosterol is used to study cholesterol metabolism . Desmosterol is an LXR activator and SREBP inhibitor, which can suppress macrophage inflammasome activation and prevent vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. A reduction in Desmosterol promotes the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in macrophages and pyrin domain-dependent inflammasome activation of NLRP3. Desmosterol holds potential for research in inflammation, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases .

(20S)-Protopanaxatriol
0 ImagesSynonyms: 20(S)-APPT; g-PPT(20S)-Protopanaxatriol is a metabolite of ginsenoside. (20S)-Protopanaxatriol works through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and estrogen receptor (ER), and is also a LXRα inhibitor. (20S)-Protopanaxatriol shows a broad spectrum of antitumor effects.

Saikosaponin A
0 ImagesSaikosaponin A is the main active ingredient in Bupleurum chinense, which can regulate lipid metabolism and promote cholesterol efflux in early atherosclerosis. In addition, Saikosaponin A may also serve as a potential peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) agonist, significantly promoting the expression of PPAR-γ. Saikosaponin A can be used in the study of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.
