BGT-002
Based on 1 Customer Validation
BGT-002 (326E) is an orally active dual ACLY inhibitor and PPARα agonist. BGT-002 reduces lipogenesis by inhibiting synthesis and promoting efflux. BGT-002 demonstrates efficacy in ameliorating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and improving hyperlipidemia in vivo. BGT-002 can be used for hypercholesterolemia and MASH research.

Biological Activity
|
PPARα |
BGT-002 (3-50 μmol/L, 4h) inhibits ACLY activity and suppresses lipid synthesis in primary hepatocytes isolated from mice by acting as a prodrug for its active ACLY-inhibiting CoA-thioester metabolite[2].
BGT-002 (12.5-50 μmol/L, 24 h) increases cholesterol efflux in the primary mouse hepatocytes by upregulating the ABCG5/8 transporters[2].

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.
