Description

Imeglimin (EMD 387008) is an oral glucose-lowering agent. Imeglimin improves insulin sensitivity. Imeglimin also reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, increases mitochondrial DNA and improves mitochondrial function[1].

IC50 & Target

ROS; mitochondrial function[1]

In Vitro

Preincubation with Imeglimin (10 mM for 4 h or 100 μM for 24 h) fully prevents tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBH)-induced cell death[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Human endothelial cells (HMEC-1)
Concentration: 100 μM and10 mM
Incubation Time: 100 μM for 24 h, 10 mM for 4 h
Result: Prevention of cell death.
In Vivo

Imeglimin (200 mg/kg b.i.d. by oral gavage during the last 6 weeks of HFHSD feeding) significantly decreases hyperglycemia, restores normal glucose tolerance, and improves insulin sensitivity[1].

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

Animal Model: Male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice (4 weeks old)[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; b.i.d.; 6 weeks
Result: A slight decrease in body weight and food intake associated with some diarrhea was observed but only during the first few days of treatment.

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: ≥ 3.2 mg/mL (20.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.0 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: ≥ 3.2 mg/mL (20.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.0 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.
