Product Description

GW 501516 (also known as endurobol; GW-501516; GSK-516) is a novel and potent PPARδ agonist with an EC50 of 1.1 nM. Endurobol was withdrawn from clinical development in 2007 due to evidence from animal experiments that the medication caused cancer to spread quickly throughout multiple organs. Endurobol was initially being studied as a potential treatment for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. When GW501516, a particular PPARβ/δ selective agonist, activated the PPARβ/δ ligand, it significantly reduced colony formation and cell proliferation in EBV positive undifferentiated NPC C666-1 cells, inducing a G2/M phase arrest in comparison to control cells. Furthermore, GW501516 induced apoptosis in C666-1 cells in a way that required both BAX and caspase. GW501516 significantly reduced the ectopic NPC xenograft tumorigenicity in BALB/c nu/nu mice, which was derived from the C666-1 NPC cells, in line with the in vitro result. Its suppression of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) gene and protein expression via AMPKα-dependent signaling pathways is closely linked to this effect. All together, we demonstrated that the degree of differentiation in NPC cell lines is inversely correlated with PPARβ/δ expression, and we demonstrated how GW501516 inhibits tumor growth in NPC cells by activating AMPKα. According to this study, PPARβ/δ targeting molecules may be helpful for chemoprevention of poorly differentiated NPCs in particular.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PPARδ (EC50 = 1.1 nM)
ln Vitro
GW-501516 is demonstrated to be the most powerful and specific PPARδ agonists currently available, with an EC50 of 1.1 nM against PPARδ and 1000-fold selectivity over the other human subtypes, PPARα and -γ[1].
In mouse proximal tubular (mProx) cells that have been cultured, GW 501516 has anti-inflammatory effects. In a dosage-dependent manner, GW 501516 suppresses increases in MCP-1 mRNA expression caused by palmitate and TNFα[3].
ln Vivo
GW 501516 impairs bone formation, which lowers BMD and deteriorates bone properties in OVX rats[2].
GW 501516 reduces both proximal tubular cell damage and interstitial inflammation in a protein-overload mouse nephropathy model[3].
GW 501516 treatment increases running endurance and the percentage of muscle fibers that are positive for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in trained and untrained mice[4].
Cell Assay
In DMSO, GW 501516 dissolves. After incubating in 0.2% FCS DMEM for nine hours, the cells are starved. Next, they are pre-incubated with GW 501516 for three hours at final concentrations of 2.5 and 5 µM, or 0.05% DMSO as a control. Finally, they are stimulated with 150 µM palmitate bound to 8.0% BSA for twelve hours[3].
Animal Protocol
Rats: At 12 weeks of age, female Sprague Dawley rats are divided into three groups: a control group (OVX-CTR), a low-dose GW 501516 (OVX-GW1), and a high-dose GW 501516 (OVX-GW5). For four months, the animals are gavaged with either GW 501516 or the vehicle (methylcellulose) every day. Dual x-ray absorptiometry is used to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) at the femur, spine, and entire body[2].
Mice: Mice are given therapeutic diets and treatments, and they are divided into groups at random. To create the rodent diet containing GW 501516, GW 501516 is gradually added to the control diet until it reaches a final concentration of 0.04% w/w. 10% of the calories in the control diet are derived from fat (5.5% from soybean oil and 4.5% from lard)[3].

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
