Buloxibutid hydrochloride
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Buloxibutid (AT2 receptor agonist C21) hydrochloride is an orally active, selective angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) agonist, with a Ki value of 0.4 nM for porcine AT2R. Buloxibutid hydrochloride exerts vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic (promoting the expression of collagenase MMP-13) and tissue repair effects mainly by activating the NO/cGMP pathway, inhibiting the pro-proliferative MAPK signaling, and suppressing the pro-fibrotic TGF-β/Smad pathway and inflammatory NF-κB pathway. Buloxibutid hydrochloride can be used in research related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, hypertension, systemic sclerosis and other conditions.

Buloxibutid (1-10 μM) hydrochloride inhibits the expression and signaling of proinflammatory pathways in LPS (HY-D1056)-induced THP-1 macrophages in a time- and concentration-dependent manner at concentrations of 1 and 10 μM[2].
Buloxibutid (Compound 21) (0.1-0.1 μM; 3 days) hydrochloride induces neurite outgrowth in NG108-15 cells by activating AT2 receptors. After treatment with 0.1 μM for 3 days, it increases the proportion of neurite-positive cells to 19.9%, and its signal transduction depends on the MAPK, cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase pathways[4].
Buloxibutid (100 nM; 0-1 h) hydrochloride transiently activates p42/p44mapk in NG108-15 cells via activation of the AT2 receptor, and its phosphorylation level increases by 2.2-fold after treatment with 0.1 μM for 30 min[4].
