Product Description

Obeticholic Acid (INT747; 6-ECDCA; 6-Ethylchenodeoxycholic acid; trade name Ocaliva), a novel derivative of cholic acid, is a potent, orally bioactive and selective agonist of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) with EC50 of 99 nM, and has anticholeretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is a semi-synthetic analog of bile acid which has the chemical structure 6α-ethyl-chenodeoxycholic acid. Obeticholic Acid was approved in 2016 for use as a drug to treat primary biliary cholangitis, and is undergoing development for several other liver diseases and related disorders. It displays anticholeretic activity in a rat model of cholestasis. It inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell inflammation and migration as well as promotes adipocyte differentiation and regulates adipose cell function in vivo.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
FXR (EC50: 99 nM)
ln Vitro
In rat hepatocytes, obeticholic acid (INT-747) elevates the expression of FXR-regulated genes[1]. Liver JNK-1 and JNK-2 expression is decreased by obeticholic acid (INT-747)[2]. In every examined strain, obeticholic acid (INT-747) at 256 μg/mL completely inhibits bacterial growth. After INT-747 is added to an intestinal epithelium of Caco-2 cells that has been exposed to IFN-γ, intestinal permeability is not changed[3].
ln Vivo
The cholestasis caused by E217α was totally reversed by obeticholic acid (INT-747) (10 mg/kg/day). By boosting the relative abundance of β -MCA, TCDCA, and TDCA, the administration of obeticholic acid (INT-747) partially reverses the impairment in total bile acid secretion caused by E217α[1]. In the mice, obeticholic acid (INT-747)7 (10 mg/kg) and HS exacerbate lung congestion. In animals administered HS, INT-747 does not improve renal pathology[2]. In BDL rats, obeticholic acid (INT-747) (5 mg/kg) considerably improves survival. BDL rats treated with obeticholic acid (INT-747) show a substantial increase in the expression of pore-closing claudin-1 only in the ileum. ZO-1 is markedly up-regulated in the ileum in BDL rats treated with INT-747[3].
Cell Assay
The exposure of rat hepatocytes to 1 microM 6-ECDCA caused a 3- to 5-fold induction of small heterodimer partner (Shp) and bile salt export pump (bsep) mRNA and 70 to 80% reduction of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (cyp7a1), oxysterol 12beta-hydroxylase (cyp8b1), and Na(+)/taurocholate cotransporting peptide (ntcp) [2].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in saline; 7 μmol/kg/min; Infused at the right jugular vein using PE-50 polyethylene tubing

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
