Product Description

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.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TRβ-1 (EC50 = 0.16 μM); TRα-1 (EC50 = 0.58 μM)
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].

*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.

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
