Description:

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

LXR623, also known as WAY-252623, is a highly selective and orally bioavailable synthetic modulator of LXR, which demonstrated efficacy for reducing lesion progression in the murine LDLR(-/-) atherosclerosis model with no associated increase in hepatic lipogenesis either in this model or Syrian hamsters. In nonhuman primates with normal lipid levels, WAY-252623 significantly reduced total (50-55%) and LDL-cholesterol (LDLc) (70-77%) in a time- and dose-dependent manner as well as increased expression of the target genes ABCA1/G1 in peripheral blood cells.

Biological target:
LXR-623 is a brain-penetrant partial LXRα and full LXRβ agonist, with IC50s of 24 nM and 179 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
It was hypothesized that the relatively low levels of endogenous LXR ligands in GBM cells would render them selectively sensitive to exogenous LXR ligands. The effect of exogenous administration of LXR ligands that are normally synthesized by cells in the presence of excess cholesterol was first tested. 24-OHC induced a dramatic dose-dependent increase in GBM cell death in vitro (Figure 1H, S1H). Importantly, NHAs, which synthesize 24-OHC (Figure 1G), were insensitive to exogenous 24-OHC administration (Figures 1H, S1H). Therefore, it was reasoned that synthetic LXR agonists might also kill GBM cells while sparing NHAs. The initial investigation was focused on LXR-623, a synthetic LXR agonist originally developed for cardiovascular indications and tested in patients (Hong and Tontonoz, 2014). Consistent with the proposed model, LXR-623 potently killed U87EGFRvIII and GBM39 cells in vitro while completely sparing NHAs (Figure 1I and S1I-L). LXR-623 also increased ABCA1 protein and decreased LDLR protein levels in all three cell lines (Figure 1J). These results prompted a deeper examination of LXR-623 as a potential therapy for GBM. Cancer Cell. 2016 Nov 14; 30(5): 683–693. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5479636/
In vivo activity:
LXR-623 levels in the brains of nude mice treated daily by oral gavage were higher than plasma levels at two or eight hours after dosing (Figure 2A, S2B). Many of the undesirable hyperlipidemic effects of synthetic LXR agonists are mediated through LXRα in the liver and adipose tissue. The abilities of LXR-623 and GW3965 to induce target gene expression in the brain and peripheral tissues were compared. LXR-623 significantly induced the expression of LXR target genes Abcg1 and Idol in cerebral cortex tissue in a similar fashion to GW3965, and also induced Abca1. LXR-623 did not induce Srebp1c in cerebral cortex. LXR-623 also did not induce LXR target gene expression in the liver and epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) (Figure 2C-D). These data suggested that at least two special properties of LXR-623 – high CNS penetrance and reduced activity on LXRα – may provide a therapeutic window for treating GBM, and possibly other brain cancers.A pilot study of LXR-623 treatment in an in vivo intracranial GBM xenograft model was performed next. The potential relationship between intracranial GBM growth, as monitored by non-invasive fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) imaging, and intratumoral LXR-623 levels were examined. As shown in Figure 2E, LXR-623 reached low-μM concentrations within intracranial GBMs, meeting or exceeding the concentrations required to kill GBM cells in culture (Figure 1I), and significantly reduced GBM tumor growth in vivo (Figure 2F). These data demonstrate favorable brain penetration and potent anti-GBM activity for LXR-623 in vivo. Cancer Cell. 2016 Nov 14; 30(5): 683–693. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5479636/
