Product Description

GW4064 (GW-4064) is a novel, potent and selective agonist of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) (EC50 of 65 nM in CV1 cell line) with potential usefulness in the treatment of cholestatic liver disease. It displays no activity at other nuclear receptors, including the retinoic acid receptor, at concentrations up to 1 μM. GW-4064 upregulates adipokine expression in preadipocytes and HepG2 cells. GW4064 could reduce induction of proinflammatory cytokines by LPS in vitro. GW4064 shows beneficial effects on cholesterol and TG (triglycerides) in various animal species. GW4064 is found to lower serum TG levels in both the KK-Ay and ob/ob mice potently. In KK-Ay mice, a 1-week administration of GW4064 also significantly lowers VLDL secretion. GW4064 can also lower serum TGs in the SHP+/+ mice.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
GW4064 treatment (1, 2.5, 5, 10 μM) decreased cell lipid accumulation. In a dose-dependent way, GW4064 therapy dramatically reduced the levels of CD36 protein generated by oleic acid. When combined, these findings imply that long-term GW4064 therapy can prevent hepatic fat buildup by blocking Cd36 expression [2].
ln Vivo
In C57BL/6 mice, GW4064 prevents body weight increase brought on by high-fat (HFD) or high-fat, high-cholesterol diets. Reduced liver triglyceride and free fatty acid levels showed that GW4064 treatment dramatically prevented diet-induced hepatic steatosis in HFD mice. Without changing the expression of genes directly related to adipogenesis, GW4064 dramatically lowers the expression of the lipid transporter CD36. Treatment with GW4064 decreases inflammation in the liver while having no effect on white adipose tissue [2]. In rats treated with ANIT, therapy with GW4064 (30 mg/kg) led to a statistically significant reduction in serum ALT, AST, LDH, and ALP activity. The use of GW4064 also markedly lowered serum bile acid levels. Rats given GW4064 had lower bilirubin levels, although the difference was not statistically significant. Notably, TUDCA merely decreased LDH levels; GW4064 was more successful in lowering these liver damage markers [3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
