GW4064, as a synthetic FXR agonist with an EC50 of 65nM, is used for the treatment of cholestatic liver diseases, metabolic syndrome and alcoholic liver disease[1].
In vitro, the IC50 values of GW4064 on SW620 and HT-29 cells were 7.6μM and 13.8μM, respectively[2]. GW4064 dose dependently enhanced the basal cAMP level with an EC50 of 0.241μM, and suppressed forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation with IC50 of 0.07μM on HEK cells[3].
In vivo, treatment of short bowel syndrome (SBS) rat model with GW4064 (30mg/kg every other day; 2wk; i.p.). GW4064 rectified bile acid (BA) dysmetabolism to alleviate hepatotoxicity. GW4064 treatment increased the reabsorption of conjugated BAs by inducing ASBT expression in the intestine. FXR/FGF15 activation in the presence of GW4064 decreased BA production by repressing the expression of key synthetases, including CYP7A1, CYP8B1, and CYP27A1[4]. GW4064 (20mg/kg; i.p.; twice) treatment alleviated hepatic inflammation in the Lipopolysaccharides(LPS)‑induced murine liver injury model as reflected by reduced serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase and pro‑inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression, including tumor necrosis factor‑α[5].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
HEK cells |
|
Preparation Method |
HEK cells in chamber slides were treated with 1μM GW4064 or ionomycin (1μM) for 30 minutes, and endogenous NFATc1 was detected by immunocytochemical analysis. The nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). |
|
Reaction Conditions |
1 μM; 30 minutes |
|
Applications |
Consequent to calcineurin activation, nuclear translocation of endogenous NFATc1 was enhanced by GW4064 in a microscopy-based assay. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
4-week-old female BALB/c-nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
HT-29 cells (5 × 106) in logarithmic growth phase were subcutaneously injected into the flanks of nude mice. When the palatable xenograft tumors were established, oxaliplatin (3mg/kg) and GW4064 (15mg/kg) as both single agents and in combination was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks. The tumor width (b) and length (a) were measured using the callipers every 3 days. |
|
Dosage form |
15 mg/kg, i.p. |
|
Applications |
Compared with using oxaliplatin or GW4064 only, combination of oxaliplatin and GW4064 in HT-29 cell line inhibited the tumor formation more significantly in vivo. |
