Tesaglitazar
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tesaglitazar is a dual-target PPARα/γ agonist with an EC50 of 13.4 μM for rat PPARα and 3.6 μM for human PPARα. Tesaglitazar affects lipid and glucose metabolism by activating PPARα and PPARγ receptors, and has the potential to improve blood sugar and relieve pain. Tesaglitazar can be used to induce in vivo tumor models and can be used in the study of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and neuropathic pain.

Tesaglitazar mediates PPARα transcriptional activation with EC50 of 13.4 μM and 3.6 μM for rat and human PPARα, respectively, and EC50 of approximately 0.2 μM for rat and human PPARγ[1].
Tesaglitazar (2 μM; 6 hours pretreatment) significantly inhibited 10 μM Capsaicin (HY-10448)-induced cobalt influx into dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a cobalt uptake assay, and this inhibitory effect was PPARα- and PPARγ-dependent[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tesaglitazar (1, 10 μmol/kg; po; once daily; 2 or 12 weeks) in Wistar Hannover Galas rats, sustained stimulation of DNA synthesis, increased BrdU-labeled cells[1].
Tesaglitazar (50 nmol/kg; sc; once daily; 14 days) reduced body weight, food intake, fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, and had no significant effect on renal function in the male C57BL/6J diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model[2].
Tesaglitazar (5 or 100 nmol/kg; sc; single dose) induced an acute deterioration in glucose tolerance at a high dose (100 nmol/kg), but a low dose (5 nmol/kg) reduced body weight, food intake and fasting blood glucose levels and improved glucose tolerance[2] in the DIO mouse model[2].
Tesaglitazar (10-20 μg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) significantly restored the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) in the Streptozotocin (HY-13753)-induced diabetic neuropathy pain model in rats without affecting blood glucose levels[3].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (12.24 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (12.24 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
