Geniposidic acid is an orally active FXR modulator and SIRT6 activator. Geniposidic acid binds to the Ser332 and His447 sites on the FXR ligand-binding domain, thereby driving nuclear translocation, coactivator recruitment, and transcription of downstream bile acid and cholesterol metabolism-related genes. Geniposidic acid improves metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease by activating the SIRT6 signaling pathway. Geniposidic acid inhibits inflammation and modulates gut microbiota to alleviate colitis. Geniposidic acid can be used in research on drug-induced liver injury, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease, and metabolic dysfunction-related steatohepatitis.

    IC50 & Target

    SIRT6

    6.751 × 10 μM (Kd)

    In Vitro

    Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 12 h) activates the nuclear translocation of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in TP-injured human L02 hepatocytes, upregulates key bile acid synthases and transporters to reduce lipid accumulation, and this activity is absolutely dependent on the expression of FXR[1].
    Geniposidic acid directly binds to the ligand-binding domain of human FXR, with a Kd value of 3.905 × 10−7 M. It binds to FXR in a dose-dependent manner, with an EC50 of 1.076×10-8 M[1].
    Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 24 h) activates BSEP-mediated transcription of BSEP target genes in human L02 hepatocytes, with Ser332 and His447 residues being critical for this agonist activity[1].
    Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 72 h) upregulates the expression and nuclear translocation of miR-19a-3p in TP-damaged human L02 hepatocytes via an FXR-dependent mechanism; miR-19a-3p does not regulate FXR expression, but inhibits LXR-mediated cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing the expression of cholesterol synthesis genes and lipid droplet accumulation[1].
    Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM) reduces OA/PA-induced lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice in a concentration-dependent manner, which depends on functionally intact SIRT6[3].
    Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM) upregulates the expression and deacetylase activity of SIRT6 in HepG2 cells and mouse primary hepatocytes under both normal and lipotoxic conditions[3].
    Geniposidic acid (0.625-80 μM) binds directly to recombinant human SIRT6, with a Kd value of 6.751 × 10−8 M[3].
    Geniposidic acid (100 μM) reduces OA+PA-induced lipid accumulation in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice[3].
    Geniposidic acid (100 μM) upregulates the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes *Pparα*, *Cpt1α* and *Cd36* in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice under lipotoxic conditions[3].

    Geniposidic acid (75 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 7 days) showed no visible adverse effects in healthy male C57BL/6 mice and was able to regulate gut microbiota composition[2].
    Geniposidic acid (25-100 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 4-8 weeks) dose-dependently alleviated metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and MCD in male C57BL/6J mice, with its action dependent on functional liver function[3].

    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.
