Description

In Vitro
|
GW3965 recruits the steroid receptor coactivator 1 to human LXRα with EC50 of 125 nM in a cell-free ligand-sensing assay. [1] GW3965 shows a potent antagonistic activity against hLXRα and hLXRβ in cell-based assays with EC50 of 190 nM and 30 nM, respectively. Besides, GW3965 also sows excellent selectivity over other nuclear receptors. [1] In human islets, GW3965 (1 μM) reduces expression of selected pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and tissue factor. [4] |
In Vivo
|
In mice, GW3965 at a dose of 10 mg/kg upregulates ABCA1 expression 8-fold and raises circulating levels of HDL by 30% with Cmax of 12.7 μg/mL and t1/2 of 2 hours. [1] GW3965 (10mg/kg) induces expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 and shows potent antiatherogenic activity in both LDLR?/? and apoE?/? mice. [2] In male sprague–dawley rats, GW3965 reduces Ang II-mediated increases in blood pressure and decreases vascular Ang II receptor gene expression. [3] In Glioblastoma mouse model, GW3965 results in inducible degrader of LDLR-mediated LDLR degradation, increased expression of the ABCA1 cholesterol efflux transporter, and thus potently promotes tumor cell death.
