Description

FXR agonist 3 is an anti-NASH agent, acting by activating FXR. FXR agonist 3 inhibits COL1A1, TGF-β1, α-SMA and TIMP1 expression with anti-fibrogenic activity. FXR agonist 3 significantly reduces liver steatosis and inflammation, improves liver fibrosis level[1].

In Vitro

FXR agonist 3 (compound 3a) (5 μM; 24 h) shows anti-fibrogenic activity, decreases multiple fibrogenic biomarkers level in LX-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
FXR agonist 3 shows cytotoxic concentration against LX2 cells with an CC50 value of 70.36 μM[1].

Human 53.3 26.0 23.4 44.1
Rat 7.4 187.8 338.0 0.4
Mouse 7.4 187.9 744.1 39.0

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: LX-2 cells
Concentration: 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours; with or without 2 ng/mL TGF-β1 for another 24 hr
Result: Decreased COL1A1, TGF-β1, α-SMA, and TIMP1 protein expressions in a dose-dependent manner.
In Vivo

FXR agonist 3 (compound 3a) (200 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 4 weeks) significantly attenuates the degree of liver fibrosis in choline-deficient, l-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet (CDAHFD)-induced NASH mice model[1].
FXR agonist 3 (200 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 4 weeks) also exerts liver-protective and anti-fibrosis activities in bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced fibrosis rat model[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: C57BL/6 N mice fed CDAHFD diet for 16 weeks[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; daily for 4 weeks after CDAHFD-induced
Result: Decreased expression of IL-1β and IL-6 in livers, indicating the liver-protective effect of 3a in CDAHFD mice may partially through inhibiting inflammasome activation.
Lowered the serum levels of biochemical markers of ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, LDL and TBiL significantly, while raised HDL and GLU levels.
Animal Model: C57BL/6 N mice inuced with BDL[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; daily for 4 weeks after induced
Result: Protected liver from accumulated bile acid-induced injury.
Increased the expression of FXR and decreased the expression of NTCP in BDL rats.

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.
