| Targets |
LUF6283 targets the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2/GPR109A/HM74A), a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the lipid-lowering effects of niacin. It acts as a partial agonist with a Ki of 0.55 μM in radioligand competitive binding assays. The compound shows biased signaling with a G protein EC₅₀ of 3.1 μM versus a pERK1/2 EC₅₀ of 0.32 μM (10-fold bias ratio).

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, LUF6283 acts as an HCA2 partial agonist. It induces ERK1/2 phosphorylation with an EC₅₀ of 0.32 ± 0.06 μM. The compound stimulates [³⁵S]-GTPγS binding and increases phosphorylation of ERK in HEK293T cells expressing GPR109A/HCA2 receptors. It has a Ki of 0.55 μM in radioligand binding assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
Apolipoprotein B (APOB) expression is dramatically reduced by LUF6283 (C57BL/6 mice, 400 mg/kg, oral gavage, once daily, for 4 weeks), while ATGL/HSL expression in adipose tissue is unaffected [1].
In vivo, LUF6283 has been studied in C57BL/6 mice. Oral administration (400 mg/kg, once daily for 4 weeks) leads to a reduction in apolipoprotein B (APOB) expression. The compound achieves the beneficial lipid-lowering effects of niacin without inducing skin flushing. LUF6283 reduces hepatic APOB expression by more than 40% without altering adipose lipolysis. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular receptor binding assays for LUF6283 involve radioligand displacement using membrane preparations expressing the human HCA2 receptor. Membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled HCA2 ligand and varying concentrations of LUF6283. Bound radioactivity is measured by filtration and scintillation counting. Ki values are calculated from competition binding curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular experiments involve HEK293T cells expressing GPR109A/HCA2 receptors. Cells are treated with LUF6283 at various concentrations. ERK1/2 phosphorylation is measured by Western blot or immunoassay. [³⁵S]-GTPγS binding is measured to assess receptor activation. EC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies involve C57BL/6 mice. LUF6283 is administered orally by gavage (400 mg/kg, once daily for 4 weeks). Lipid metabolism markers, including APOB expression, are measured. Flushing response is monitored to confirm the absence of this side effect.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
LUF6283 is orally bioavailable. It has a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₈H₁₂N₂O₂. The compound is soluble in DMSO. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for 1 year.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data for LUF6283 is limited. The compound is designed to avoid the skin flushing side effect associated with niacin. As an HCA2 partial agonist, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile. The compound is for research purposes only and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
