Bexarotene
Based on 22 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bexarotene (LGD1069) is a high-affinity and selective retinoid X receptors (RXR) agonist with EC50s of 33, 24, 25 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, respectively. Bexarotene shows limited affinity for RAR receptors (EC50 >10000 nM). Bexarotene can be used for the research of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Bexarotene selectively binds and activates RXR subtypes with Kd=14±2 nM, 21±4 nM, and 29±7 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ subtypes[1].
Bexarotene is effective in limiting the proliferation of leukemic (HL-60) cells. Bexarotene inhibits the proliferation of HL-60 cells by 37% at 1 μM[1].
Bexarotene monotherapy of cells shows an antiproliferative effect at a high dose, and the IC50s aere 40.62±0.45 μM (PC3) and 50.20±4.10 μM (DU145)[2].
Bexarotene (20 and 40 μM) and Docetaxel (5 and 10 μM) exhibit a synergistic effect on the inhibition of PC3 and DU145 cell proliferation[2].
Bexarotene (20 and 40 μM) represses cyclin D1 and cyclin D3 expression in PC3 and DU145 cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

-
Concentration:5, 10, 20, 30, 40 μM for PC3 cells; 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 μM for DU145 cells.
-
Incubation Time:24 and 48 hours
-
Result:Showed an antiproliferative effect with the IC50s were 40.62±0.45 µM (PC3) and 50.20±4.10 µM (DU145).
-
Cell Line:PC3 and DU145 cells
-
Concentration:20 and 40 µM
-
Incubation Time:24 or 48 hours
-
Result:Decreased cyclin D1, and cyclin E2 after 24 hours treatment.
Not only decreased the expression of cyclin D1 and cyclin E2 but repressed cyclin B1 and CDK1 expression after 48 hours treatment.
Bexarotene is an effective preventive agent against lung tumor growth and progression. Bexarotene (100 mg/kg by gavage) inhibits both tumor multiplicity and tumor volume in mice of all three genotypes (p53wt/wtK-raswt/wt, p53val135/wtK-raswt/wt, or p53wt/wtK-rasko/wt). Bexarotene reduces the progression of adenoma to adenocarcinoma by ~50% in both p53wt/wtK-rasko/wt and p53wt/wtK-raswt/wt mice[3].

Lösungsmittel & Löslichkeit
DMSO : 60 mg/mL (172.18 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Konzentration (Stammlösung) × Volumen (Stammlösung) = Konzentration (Ziellösung) × Volumen (Ziellösung)
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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.97 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.97 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

The co-solvents required include: DMSO, . All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE). , Tween 80. All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE).
Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
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.
