Product Data
Biological target:
HX531 is a potent RXR antagonist with an IC50 of 18 nM.
In vitro activity:
Accordingly, this study observed that HX531 strongly and significantly reduced (by 88.6%, p < 0.01) the mRNA expression of IL-6 induced by A2E (Figure 8E). HX531 also drastically inhibited IL-8 mRNA expression induced by A2E in RPE cells in vitro (99.6%, p < 0.001, Figure 8F).

In vivo activity:
Treatment with 0.5 μM HX 531 (Fig. 1d) formed non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium without large gaps between cells, which resemble in vivo epithelium. Reference: Microscopy (Oxf). 2022 Jun 6;71(3):152-160. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35289919/
