Biological Activity
EC50: 0.2 nM (FXR)
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].

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.
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.

3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
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].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
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].
