Product Description

Elafibranor (formerly GFT505) is a dual agonist of the PPARα/δ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and -δ) with EC50 values of 45 and 175 nM, respectively. In addition to lowering inflammation, it can enhance insulin sensitivity, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism. The treatment of T2DM, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and other cardiometabolic disorders is currently being pursued with elafibranor. Both elafibranor and its active metabolite, GFT1007, exhibit strong agonist activity for PPAR-α and somewhat for PPAR-δ.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PPAR-α (IC50 = 45 nM); PPAR-δ (IC50 = 175 nM)
ln Vitro
Elafibranor (GFT505) is being developed as a dual agonist for PPAR-α and PPAR-δ to inhibit non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. GFT1007, an active metabolite of elafibranor, exhibits strong agonist activity for PPAR-α and somewhat for PPAR-δ[1].
ln Vivo
Elafibranor is well tolerated; however, it does result in a slight, reversible elevation in serum creatinine and neither weight gain nor cardiac events. In addition to lowering inflammation, elafibranor enhances lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis[2]. Treatment with elafibranor (GFT505) improves plasma lipids and glucose regulation in diabetic db/db mice. With Elafibranor, hepatic expression of the major gluconeogenic enzymes fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1), PEPCK, and glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is significantly dose-dependently reduced. In monkeys, PPARγ-activating agonists do not cause cardiac side effects when elabranor is used[3].
Enzyme Assay
Elafibranor is an agonist of PPARα/δ with EC50 values of 45 and 175 nM, in that order. As a dual PPAR-α/PPAR-δ agonist, GFT505 is being developed to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. GThe active metabolite of GFT505, GFT1007, exhibits strong agonist activity for PPAR-α and to a lesser degree for PPAR-δ.
Cell Assay
The drug was applied to the cells for a full day at the specified concentration.
Animal Protocol
hApoE2 KI and hApoE2 KI/PPAR-α KO mice
30 mg/kg
oral gavage

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
