  2. FXR G protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor 1 TNF Receptor Heme Oxygenase (HO) Quinone Reductase Keap1-Nrf2
  3. FXR agonist 18

FXR agonist 18 is an orally active FXR agonist, with an EC50 of 10 nM against human FXR and an EC50 of 1360 nM against human TGR5. FXR agonist 18 inhibits inflammatory responses by reducing nitrite production, downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (Tnf, Adgre1, Cyp8b1, upregulating the expression of FXR, Hmox1, Nqo1, Nrf2, and enhancing antioxidant responses. FXR agonist 18 ameliorates liver fibrosis in mice, exhibits protective effects in mice with cholestatic liver injury, and shows anti-MASH efficacy. FXR agonist 18 can be used in studies of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

FXR agonist 18 ameliorates liver fibrosis in mice, exhibits protective effects in mice with cholestatic liver injury, and shows anti-MASH efficacy. FXR agonist 18 can be used in studies of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis[1].

In Vitro

FXR agonist 18 (Compound 27) potently activates FXR-mediated transcription in HEK-293 cells, with an EC50 of 128 nM[1].
FXR agonist 18 acts as a partial agonist of human MRGPRX4, with an EC50 value of 25,685 nM[1].
FXR agonist 18 (20 μM; 1 h pretreatment, 24 h LPS stimulation) inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 macrophages by reducing nitrite production, downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (Tnf, Adgre1, Cyp8b1), upregulating the expression of FXR, Hmox1, Nqo1, and Nrf2, and enhancing antioxidant responses[1].

In Vivo

FXR agonist 18 (30 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 4 consecutive weeks) effectively ameliorates CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in mice by restoring parenchymal integrity and inhibiting extracellular matrix accumulation[1].
FXR agonist 18 (20 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 5 consecutive days) exerts significant protective effects in mice with ANIT (HY-W540630)-induced cholestatic liver injury by normalizing serum biomarkers and alleviating hepatocellular damage[1].
At a dose of 20 mg/kg, FXR agonist 18 (10-20 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 4 weeks) improves histopathological, fibrotic and serum biomarker parameters in a metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) model induced by the combination of Western diet (WD) and CCl4; the 10 mg/kg dose also exhibits significant anti-MASH efficacy[1].

Animal Model: C57BL/6J (8-week-old male, CCl4-induced liver fibrosis)[1]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 4 weeks
Result: Markedly attenuated fibrotic pathology, including thinner collagen septa with reduced bridging architecture in portal regions.
Significantly reduced collagen deposition confirmed by Sirius red quantification.
Significantly reduced total liver collagen content compared to the OCA group.
Animal Model: C57BL/6J (8-week-old male, ANIT-induced cholestatic liver injury)[1]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 5 days
Result: Effectively normalized all measured serum biomarkers (ALT, AST, ALP, TBA, TBIL) to levels comparable to normal controls.
Showed near-normal liver histology with minimal necrosis or inflammation.
Significantly reduced histopathological injury scores compared to the ANIT model group.
Animal Model: C57BL/6J (8-week-old male, WD- and CCl4-coinduced metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis)[1]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg; 20 mg/kg

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
