Sobetirome (GC-1; QRX-431) is a novel, potent and selective agonist of the thyroid hormone receptor-beta (TRβ) that lowers cholesterol. It binds to TRβ-1 selectively, with an EC50 of 0.16 μM, to produce its effect. In osteoblast-like cells derived from mice and rats, sobetirome suppresses proliferation but promotes differentiation and the expression of TR beta mRNA. The theory that sobetirome would lower cholesterol by activating liver TRbeta without promoting cardiac function by activating heart TRalpha was based on the receptor's selectivity, which allows sobetirome to bind to and activate TRbeta over TRalpha. Based on multiple animal models demonstrating tissue selective thyromimetic properties, sobetirome was developed clinically as a novel agent to lower cholesterol.

ln Vivo |
Sobetirome (GC-1) is a selective agonist for the thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) and liver uptake. In euthyroid mice, sobetirome (48 nmol/kg) lowers levels of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. In hypercholesterolemic mice, sobetirome lowers triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels. In hypercholesterolemic mice, sobetirome stimulates the synthesis of bile acid and increases the number of HDL receptors in the liver[2]. Treatment with 10× Sobetirome (GC-1) causes only a 21% (1.7 g) increase in fat mass, while treatment with 20× Sobetirome (GC-1) causes a 20% (1.3 g) decrease in fat mass[3].

Additional Infomation |
Sobetirome is a diarylmethane.
Sobetirome is a thyroid hormone receptor isoform beta-1 liver-selective analog with antilipidemic and antiatherosclerotic activity. In animal models sobetirome reduced serum lipids, decreased cholesterol levels, and stimulated steps of reverse cholesterol transport, which promotes the reverse transport of cholesterol from atherogenic macrophages back to the liver for excretion. In humans, sobetirome lowered plasma LDL cholesterol and reduced plasma triglycerides, while its liver-selective activity helped avoid the side effects seen with many other thyromimetic agents. |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*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.
