Biological Activity
IC50: 0.03 μM (THR-β) and 0.22 μM (THR-α)[1]
THR-β agonist 6 (3, 10 mg/kg; po; single dose) displays over 30% reduction of TC and potently decreases serum LDL-C (LDL-cholesterol) levels by 62.1 and 53.6% at both 10 and 3 mg/kg with efficacy in ICR mice[1].
THR-β agonist 6 (3, 10 mg/kg; po; single dose) significantly upregulates the Dio1, Thrsp, and Me1 mRNA levels by above 19-, 16-, and 3-fold[1].
