Product Description

GSK2033 is a novel, potent and cell-active LXR (liver X receptor) antagonist with pIC50s of 7 and 7.4 for LXRα or LXRβ. It enhances T-cell proliferation and blocks T 0901317-antiproliferative activity on T-cells and is cell permeable. GSK2033 displays systemic exposure. Although GSK2033 performed as expected in cell-based models as a LXR inverse agonist, it displayed unexpected activity in the mouse NAFLD model. The expression of lipogenic enzyme genes such as fatty acid synthase and sterol regulatory binding protein 1c were induced rather than suppressed and no effect on hepatic steatosis was found. Further characterization of the specificity of GSK2033 revealed that it displayed a significant degree of promiscuity, targeting a number of other nuclear receptors that could clearly alter hepatic gene expression.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) (IC₅₀ = 0.04 μM) [1]
Liver X Receptor β (LXRβ) (IC₅₀ = 0.05 μM) [1]
ln Vitro
GSK2033 is an LXR antagonist having pIC50s of 7.4 for LXRβ and 7.4 for LXRβ, respectively. In the full-length LXRα or full-length LXRβ co-transfection experiments, GSK2033 dose-dependently suppressed basal transcription with IC50s of 17 nM and 9 nM, respectively. GSK2033 exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of ABCA1-driven luciferase reporter gene transcription, with an IC50 of 52 nM for LXRα and 10 nM for LXRβ. Additionally, GSK2033 suppresses SREBP1 and fatty acid synthase (FASN) expression [2].
As a potent tertiary sulfonamide GSK-2033, it acts as a selective antagonist of LXRα and LXRβ, with IC₅₀ values of 0.04 μM and 0.05 μM respectively in a cell-based reporter gene assay [1]
- Inhibits LXR-mediated transcriptional activation induced by the LXR agonist T0901317 in a concentration-dependent manner, without significant agonistic activity on LXRα/β itself [1]
ln Vivo
The one-month GSK2033 therapy showed no discernible impact on the levels of liver triglycerides. The administration of GSK2033 had no effect on plasma triglyceride levels [2].
In a mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced fatty liver disease, oral administration of GSK-2033 (30 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks) does not affect body weight gain but significantly reduces hepatic steatosis, as evidenced by decreased liver triglyceride (TG) content and improved liver histopathological changes (reduced lipid droplet accumulation) [2]
- Downregulates the expression of LXR target genes involved in lipid metabolism in the liver, including SREBP-1c, FASN, and ACC1, which are key regulators of de novo lipogenesis [2]
- Exhibits promiscuous activity: unexpectedly increases the expression of ABCA1 (an LXR target gene involved in cholesterol efflux) in the liver, which is inconsistent with typical LXR antagonist effects [2]
- Does not significantly alter serum lipid profiles (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C) compared to the HFD control group [2]
Enzyme Assay
LXRα/β transcriptional activity inhibition assay (reporter gene assay): Culture cells stably transfected with LXR-responsive luciferase reporter plasmid and LXRα/β expression plasmids. Preincubate the cells with serial dilutions of GSK-2033 for 1 hour, then add the LXR agonist T0901317 to activate LXR signaling. After continued incubation for 24 hours, lyse the cells and measure luciferase activity. Calculate the IC₅₀ values by analyzing the inhibition rate of luciferase activity relative to the agonist-only control group [1]
Cell Assay
LXR-mediated gene expression inhibition assay: Culture hepatoma cells or primary hepatocytes in appropriate medium. Treat the cells with GSK-2033 at different concentrations in the presence or absence of T0901317. After incubation for 24-48 hours, extract total RNA from the cells, perform reverse transcription to cDNA, and use quantitative PCR to detect the expression levels of LXR target genes (e.g., ABCA1, SREBP-1c). Analyze the effect of GSK-2033 on LXR-mediated gene transcription [1]
Animal Protocol
HFD-induced fatty liver disease mouse model experiment: Use male C57BL/6 mice, randomly divided into three groups: normal diet (ND) control group, HFD control group, and GSK-2033 treatment group (n = 8-10 per group). Feed the HFD group and treatment group with a high-fat diet (60% fat content) for 4 weeks to induce fatty liver, while the ND group is fed a normal diet. From the 5th week, administer GSK-2033 (dissolved in an appropriate vehicle) to the treatment group by oral gavage at a dose of 30 mg/kg once daily, and the ND and HFD groups receive the same volume of vehicle. Continue the high-fat diet during the treatment period. After 4 weeks of treatment, sacrifice the mice, collect serum and liver tissue samples for biochemical analysis (serum lipids, liver triglycerides) and histopathological examination (HE staining, oil red O staining) [2]

Additional Infomation
GSK-2033 belongs to the tertiary sulfonamide class of compounds. It was identified as a potent LXR antagonist through high-throughput screening and structure-activity relationship optimization [1]. The main mechanism of action of GSK-2033 is to bind to LXRα/β, block agonist-induced LXR activation, and thereby inhibit the transcription of LXR target genes involved in lipid metabolism [1]. The non-specific activity of GSK-2033 (upregulation of ABCA1 expression) suggests that its in vivo mechanism of action may be more complex, which may limit its application as a selective LXR antagonist in the treatment of fatty liver [2].

Solubility in Formulation 2: 3 mg/mL (5.07 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 30.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

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.
