IUB288
Based on 1 Customer Validation
IUB288 is a stable and long-acting glucagon-modified peptide, as well as a highly selective Glucagon Receptor agonist. IUB288 stimulates the production of cAMP, increases the expression levels of FGF21 in plasma and liver, regulates bile acid metabolism, and inhibits the expression of hepatic HMGCR. IUB288 improves hypercholesterolemia, enhances insulin sensitivity, increases core body temperature, boosts energy expenditure, suppresses food intake, and can also induce hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. IUB288 is applicable to the research of diet-induced obesity, type 2 diabetes, and obesity-related glucose intolerance.

In Vitro
IUB288 (0.0001-10 nM; 5 h) potently activates the glucagon receptor in HEK293 cells with enhanced activity relative to native glucagon[1].
IUB288 (0.0001-10 nM; 5 h) activates the GLP-1 receptor in HEK293 cells with approximately 100-fold lower potency than at the glucagon receptor, demonstrating high GcgR selectivity[1].
IUB288 (0.133 nmol/mL; 120 min) significantly upregulates FGF21 gene expression in rat H4IIE hepatoma cells[1].

In Vivo
IUB288 (10 nmol/kg; i.p.; single dose) increases blood glucose in chow-fed mice and stimulates transient FGF21 secretion in obese mice, while IUB288 (10 nmol/kg/day; daily; 16 days) chronic treatment increases food intake and plasma triglycerides without altering body weight in chow-fed mice[1].
IUB288 (10 nmol/kg/day; daily; 7 days) reduces body weight, increases core body temperature, and enhances insulin sensitivity in leptin receptor-deficient db/db mice without altering blood glucose or food intake[1].
IUB288 (10 nmol/kg/day; daily; 20 days) prevents diet-induced weight gain, increases EE, and reduces plasma cholesterol in WT mice, but these effects are ablated in FGF21-deficient mice, demonstrating FGF21 is required for most long-term metabolic actions of IUB288[1].
IUB288 (10 nmol/kg/day; daily; 18 days) increases hepatic FGF21 expression and circulating FGF21 levels in diet-induced obese mice[1].
IUB288 (10 nmol/kg; s.c.; daily) reduces body weight and suppresses food intake in diet-induced obese C57Bl/6J mice, and its associated glucose intolerance is rescued by co-treatment with bile acid sequestration resins, which also enhance its anti-obesity effect[2].
