Icosabutate, an orally active ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is an aeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) derivative. Icosabutate overcomes the drawbacks of unmodified EPA for liver targeting and improves insulin sensitivity, hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Icosabutate is well tolerated, and efficacious in lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels in persistent hypertriglyceridemia .

Description

Icosabutate, an orally active ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is an aeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) derivative. Icosabutate overcomes the drawbacks of unmodified EPA for liver targeting and improves insulin sensitivity, hepatic inflammation and fibrosis[1]. Icosabutate is well tolerated, and efficacious in lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels in persistent hypertriglyceridemia [2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: non-HDL-C[2]

In Vivo

Icosabutate (oral gavage; 100 mg/kg; once) accounts for the much higher flow rate of portal vein plasma (522 mL/h) versus mesenteric lymph (0.5 mL/h), that data demonstate that icosabutate is almost entirely taken up through the portal vein (>99%) with only a small fraction of icosabutate being absorbed through the lymphatic pathway in 8‐week old male Wistar rats[1].
Icosabutate ([14‐C]‐icosabutate; oral gavage; 100 mg/kg; once) shows that peak concentrations of radioactivity in most tissues at 4‐8 hours after the dose (except the gastrointestinal tract) with highest concentrations in the liver and kidney, most other tissues contain levels of radioactivity below that in plasma in male albino Wistar rats[1].
Icosabutate (diet administration; 135 mg/kg/day; 5 weeks) markedly improved glucose tolerance after an oral glucose load, significantly reduces AUC (0‐120 minutes) by 60% without affecting body weight, decrease plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels improves glucose metabolism by a significant decrease in blood glucose, blood hemoglobin A1c, plasma insulin, and HOMA‐IR (-50%, -47%, -76% and -87%, respectively) in mice[1].
Icosabutate (oral adminstration; 112 mg/kg/day; 20 weeks) prevents microvesicular steatosis (-35%) and hepatocellular hypertrophy (-82%), but not macrovesicular steatosis. After 20 weeks of treatment, despite comparable decreases in hepatic inflammatory cell aggregates, only icosabutate reduced hepatic collagen content[1].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.67 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (6.67 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

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.
