Geniposidic acid is an orally active FXR modulator and SIRT6 activator. Geniposidic acid binds to the Ser332 and His447 sites on the FXR ligand-binding domain, thereby driving nuclear translocation, coactivator recruitment, and transcription of downstream bile acid and cholesterol metabolism-related genes. Geniposidic acid improves metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease by activating the SIRT6 signaling pathway. Geniposidic acid inhibits inflammation and modulates gut microbiota to alleviate colitis. Geniposidic acid can be used in research on drug-induced liver injury, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease, and metabolic dysfunction-related steatohepatitis.

In Vitro

Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 12 h) activates the nuclear translocation of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in TP-injured human L02 hepatocytes, upregulates key bile acid synthases and transporters to reduce lipid accumulation, and this activity is absolutely dependent on the expression of FXR^[1].
Geniposidic acid directly binds to the ligand-binding domain of human FXR, with a K_d value of 3.905 × 10⁻⁷ M. It binds to FXR in a dose-dependent manner, with an EC₅₀ of 1.076×10^-8 M^[1].
Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 24 h) activates BSEP-mediated transcription of BSEP target genes in human L02 hepatocytes, with Ser332 and His447 residues being critical for this agonist activity^[1].
Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM; 72 h) upregulates the expression and nuclear translocation of miR-19a-3p in TP-damaged human L02 hepatocytes via an FXR-dependent mechanism; miR-19a-3p does not regulate FXR expression, but inhibits LXR-mediated cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing the expression of cholesterol synthesis genes and lipid droplet accumulation^[1].
Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM) reduces OA/PA-induced lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice in a concentration-dependent manner, which depends on functionally intact SIRT6^[3].
Geniposidic acid (25-100 μM) upregulates the expression and deacetylase activity of SIRT6 in HepG2 cells and mouse primary hepatocytes under both normal and lipotoxic conditions^[3].
Geniposidic acid (0.625-80 μM) binds directly to recombinant human SIRT6, with a K_d value of 6.751 × 10⁻⁸ M^[3].
Geniposidic acid (100 μM) reduces OA+PA-induced lipid accumulation in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice^[3].
Geniposidic acid (100 μM) upregulates the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes *Pparα*, *Cpt1α* and *Cd36* in primary hepatocytes from wild-type mice under lipotoxic conditions^[3].

Geniposidic acid (25-100 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 6-21 days) in Acetaminophen (HY-66005) and Triptolide (HY-32735) induced liver injury (DILI) mouse models can alleviate liver injury, inflammatory response and bile acid/cholesterol metabolic dysfunction in a concentration-dependent manner by upregulating bile acid synthesis and transport mediators and inhibiting miR-19a-3p-mediated cholesterol synthesis^[1].
Geniposidic acid (25-75 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 7 days) showed a dose-dependent alleviating effect on DSS-induced colitis in male C57BL/6 mice, including reducing disease activity, restoring colon length, improving colonic tissue morphology, inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting NF-κB activation, enhancing the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins, and restoring gut microbiota composition^[2].
Geniposidic acid (75 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 7 days) showed no visible adverse effects in healthy male C57BL/6 mice and was able to regulate gut microbiota composition^[2].
Geniposidic acid (25-100 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 4-8 weeks) dose-dependently alleviated metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and MCD in male C57BL/6J mice, with its action dependent on functional liver function^[3].

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
