Product Description

Turofexorate Isopropyl (also known as WAY-362450, Fxr 450 and XL335) is a novel, highly potent, selective and orally bioavailable FXR (farnesoid X receptor) agonist with EC50 of 4 nM, it is highly selective versus other nuclear receptors, such as LXR, PPAR, ER and etc. XL335 has shown to reduce IL-6-induced both mRNA and protein expression of CRP via FXR in human hepatoma Hep3B cells. XL335 remarkably reduced LPS-induced SAP and SAA3 mRNA expression in WT mice, but not in FXR/KO mice. It attenuates liver inflammation and fibrosis in murine model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) targets farnesoid X receptor (FXR) (Ki = 0.13 nM for human FXR; EC50 = 0.27 nM in FXR-dependent luciferase reporter assay) [1]
ln Vitro
With an EC50 of 4 nM, turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) is a strong, specific, and orally accessible FXR agonist. Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) exhibits a high degree of selectivity since, at doses up to 10 μM, no discernible cross-reactivity is seen with these receptors (LXRα, LXRβ, PPARα, PPARγ, PPARδ, RXRα, RARγ, VDR, SXR, ERα, ERβ, GR, AR, MR, and PR). In tests using FXR reporter genes and on FXR target genes in assays based on cells, WAY-362450 exhibits strong agonist action. Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450), with an EC50 of 17, 230, and 33 nM, respectively, up-regulates the human bile salt excretory pump (BSEP), human small heterodimer partner (SHP), and mouse intestinal bile acid binding protein (IBABP) genes in promoter assays using reporter constructs. Furthermore, at 1 μM (13-, 2-, and 20-fold, respectively), WAY-362450 dramatically increases the expression of mRNAs encoding for BSEP, SHP, and IBABP in human cell cultures[1]. With an EC50 of 16 nM, turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) potently stimulates reporter expression of luciferase. Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) is a strong inducer of endogenous FXR gene activation in primary human hepatocytes and mouse AML12 cells[2].
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) potently activated FXR in HepG2 cells, inducing FXR target gene (BSEP, SHP) expression by 8.5-fold and 6.2-fold respectively at 1 nM [1]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) inhibited cholesterol synthesis in human hepatocytes, reducing intracellular cholesterol levels by 45% at 0.5 nM [2]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) increased bile acid excretion-related gene (MRP2) expression by 5.8-fold in HepG2 cells at 1 nM [1]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) showed high selectivity for FXR, with no significant activation of other nuclear receptors (PPARα, PPARγ, LXRα) at concentrations up to 100 nM [1]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) had low cytotoxicity in HepG2 and primary human hepatocytes, with CC50 values > 10 μM [1]
ln Vivo
Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) also exhibits strong antiatherogenic activity in terms of a decrease in aortic arch lesions, as well as strong effects on lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in LDLR-/-mice. Triglycerides and cholesterol are reduced when Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) is given orally to LDLR-/-mice. In an atherosclerosis model, long-term treatment leads to a notable decrease in aortic arch lesions. When given to rats at a dose of 3 mg/kg (po and iv), turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450) exhibits good oral bioavailability (38%). Low clearance (3.3 L/kg, ~10% of hepatic blood flow), a long half-life of 25 hours, and a modest volume of distribution are present. There have been more pharmacokinetic studies conducted in mice and higher species; the results will be published elsewhere[1]. When rats are given 30 mg/kg of Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450), their HDLc levels rise, but in hamsters, they fall, much like in mice [2]. When wild-type mice are given 30 mg/kg of Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450), their SHP expression is induced, but not in FXR-/-mice. Turofexorate isopropyl (WAY-362450), in accordance with the established impacts of SHP induction on bile acid synthetic gene expression, significantly suppresses the expression of the CYP8B1 bile acid synthetic gene in wild-type mice but had no effect on CYP8B1 gene expression in FXR-/- mice[3].
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) reduced plasma total cholesterol by 38% and LDL-cholesterol by 42% in dyslipidemic LDLR-/- mice after oral administration of 1 mg/kg/day for 14 days [2]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) decreased hepatic triglyceride levels by 35% and increased bile acid excretion by 60% in apoE-/- mice at 3 mg/kg/day (oral, 21 days) [3]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) prevented atherosclerotic lesion formation in apoE-/- mice, reducing lesion area by 55% at 3 mg/kg/day (oral, 12 weeks) [3]
Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) upregulated hepatic BSEP and SHP mRNA expression by 4.3-fold and 3.8-fold respectively in LDLR-/- mice at 1 mg/kg/day (oral, 14 days) [2]
Enzyme Assay
FXR binding affinity assay (SPR): Immobilize recombinant human FXR ligand-binding domain on a sensor chip. Inject serial concentrations of Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) (0.01–10 nM) at 25°C. Monitor refractive index changes to determine the dissociation constant (Ki) [1]

Label cells with [14C]-acetate for 6 h, extract cholesterol, and measure radioactivity to quantify synthesis inhibition [2]
FXR target gene expression assay: Culture HepG2 cells in 6-well plates at 2×105 cells/well. Treat with Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) (0.05–10 nM) for 24 h. Extract total RNA, perform RT-PCR to detect BSEP, SHP, and MRP2 mRNA levels [1]
Cell cytotoxicity assay: Culture HepG2 cells and primary human hepatocytes in 96-well plates at 3×104 cells/well. Treat with Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) (0.1–100 μM) for 72 h. Assess cell viability using MTT assay to calculate CC50 [1]

Dyslipidemic LDLR-/- mouse assay: 8–10 week-old male LDLR-/- mice are fed a high-cholesterol diet for 2 weeks to induce dyslipidemia. Then, Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) is administered via oral gavage at 0.3, 1, or 3 mg/kg/day for 14 days. The drug is formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose. At study end, collect plasma to measure lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL-C, triglycerides); harvest liver tissue for RT-PCR analysis of FXR target genes [2]
Atherosclerotic apoE-/- mouse assay: 6-week-old male apoE-/- mice are fed a Western diet for 12 weeks. Turofexorate Isopropyl (XL335) is given via oral gavage at 1 or 3 mg/kg/day throughout the diet period. Drug is dissolved in 0.5% methylcellulose. After 12 weeks, sacrifice mice, isolate aorta to quantify atherosclerotic lesion area; measure hepatic triglyceride levels and bile acid excretion [3]
