GSK2945 is a class of tertiary amine, and is a highly specific Rev-erbα/REV-ERBα (mouse/human reverse erythroblastosis virus α) antagonist with EC50s of 21.5 μM and 20.8 μM, respectively. GSK2945 enhances cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) level and cholesterol metabolism.

The free form of the compound is prone to instability, it is advisable to consider the stable salt form (GSK2945 hydrochloride) that retains the same biological activity.

Description

GSK2945 is a class of tertiary amine, and is a highly specific Rev-erbα/REV-ERBα (mouse/human reverse erythroblastosis virus α) antagonist with EC50s of 21.5 μM and 20.8 μM, respectively. GSK2945 enhances cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) level and cholesterol metabolism[1].

In Vitro

GSK2945 dose-dependently enhances the transcriptional activity of Rev-erbα and a Bmal1 (a target gene of REV-ERBs) luciferase reporter (EC50 of 2.05 μM)[1].
GSK2945 (20 μM; 12 hours and 24 hours; mouse and human primary hepatocytes) treatment increases levels of Cyp7a1/CYP7A1 in mouse and human primary hepatocytes. GSK2945 (20 μM) treatment also increases Lrh-1/LRH-1 (a known hepatic activator of Cyp7a1/CYP7A1) mRNA and protein[1].

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

RT-PCR[1]

Cell Line: Mouse (male, CD1) and human (male, Caucasian) primary hepatocytes
Concentration: 20 μM
Incubation Time: 12 hours and 24 hours
Result: Led to significant increases in mRNA and protein (at 24-h) expression of Cyp7a1. mRNA and protein (at 24-h) levels of CYP7A1 were increased in human primary hepatocyte. Lrh-1/LRH-1 was upregulated.
In Vivo

GSK2945 (0-10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice every day; for 7 days; male C57BL/6 mice) treatment increases hepatic mouse cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) level and lowers plasma cholesterol in wild-type mice[1].

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

Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks of age)[1]
Dosage: 0 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; twice every day; for 7 days
Result: Increased hepatic mouse cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) level and lowered plasma cholesterol in wild-type mice.

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.94 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.94 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
