Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Tropifexor, also known as LJN452, is a farnesoid X receptor agonist for the Treatment of Cholestatic Liver Diseases and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Potent in vivo activity was demonstrated in rodent PD models by measuring the induction of FXR target genes in various tissues. Tropifexor has advanced into phase 2 human clinical trials in patients with NASH and PBC.

More Info
Biological target:
Tropifexor (LJN452) is a highly potent agonist of FXR with an EC50 of 0.2 nM
In vitro activity:
Tropifexor (compound 1) is a novel and highly potent agonist of FXR with an EC50 of 0.2 nM. Robust induction of both BSEP and SHP genes is observed in primary cells by Tropifexor in a concentration-dependent manner. BSEP induction above vehicle (DMSO) control is observed at concentrations as low as 1 nM, while strong induction of SHP (15-fold above vehicle) is observed at 10 nM and modest induction of SHP at 1 nM (3-fold). Reference: J Med Chem. 2017 Dec 28;60(24):9960-9973. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b00907
In vivo activity:
Tropifexor (compound 1) demonstrates highly potent induction of SHP and FGF15 in the ileum as doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg. In the liver, robust induction of SHP is observed at 0.01 mg/kg of Tropifexor with maximal levels of gene induction achieved at 0.3 mg/kg. Expression of CYP8B1 mRNA following 14 day treatment with Tropifexor is already apparent at the lowest dose (0.003 mg/kg), and CYP8B1 gene expression is fully repressed at doses above 0.03 mg/kg. Treatment of rats with Tropifexor exhibits a clear dose-dependent increase in plasma FGF15 protein, with maximal levels of FGF15 detected at 7 h postdose. Treatment with Tropifexor for 14 days produces a robust dose-dependent reduction in serum triglycerides and reaches a maximal response with a 0.3 mg/kg dose, resulting in a decrease of triglyceride levels to approximately 79% below the vehicle control group Reference: J Med Chem. 2017 Dec 28;60(24):9960-9973. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b00907
