Description:

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

Eprotirome, also known as KB-2115, is a liver-selective thyroid hormone receptor agonist that has been shown to lower plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations in previous phase 1 and 2 studies of patients with dyslipidaemia. KB2115 lowers plasma LDL cholesterol and stimulates bile acid synthesis without cardiac effects in humans.

More Info
Eprotirome can lower LDL cholesterol concentrations in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia when added to conventional statin treatment with or without ezetimibe, but that it has the potential to induce liver injury. These findings, along with findings of cartilage damage in dogs, raise serious doubts about selective thyroid hormone mimetics as a therapeutic approach to lower LDL cholesterol concentrations.
Product Data
Biological target:
Eprotirome (KB2115) is a liver-selective thyroid hormone receptor (TR) agonist.
In vitro activity:
Quantitative hair cycle histomorphometry showed that KB2115 treatment significantly increased the percentage of anagen HFs compared with vehicle controls (Figure 1a). Reference: J Invest Dermatol. 2016 Aug;136(8):1711-1714. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27066887/
In vivo activity:
As shown in Figure 1F, 1-week treatment with IP injections of KB2115 (25 and 12.5 μg/100 g b.w.) induced a strong rat hepatocyte proliferation, as assessed by BrdU incorporation. Indeed, LI displayed a five- to sixfold increase compared to controls. Notably, the extent of hepatocyte proliferation elicited by KB2115 was similar to that observed by repeated injections of T3.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
