Liver X receptor α (LXRα) and liver X receptor β (LXRβ). GSK3987 is a pan LXRα/β agonist that recruits steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC1) to human LXRα and LXRβ. LXR are nuclear receptors that regulate cholesterol homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. Activation of LXR increases the expression of ABCA1, which promotes cholesterol efflux, and SREBP-1c, which induces triglyceride synthesis.

| ln Vitro |
GSK3987 (compound 4) has EC50 activities of 0.08 μM, 50 nM, and 40 nM against ABCA1, LXRα-SRC1, and LXRβ-SRC1, respectively [1]. GSK3987 (30, 100, 300, and 1000 nM) in primary human macrophages increases ABCA1 expression and dose-dependently induces lysis to apoA1 particles [1]. In human template (HepG2), GSK3987 (6–1500 nM) induces triglyceride expression and dose-dependently increases SREBP-1c expression.
