HX 531 is a potent retinoid X receptor (RXR) antagonist[1].
In vitro, Pre-treatment with HX 531 (2.5μM; 30min) attenuated the anti-apoptotic effect of all-trans retinoic acid (t-RA) in protecting mesangial cells from H₂O₂-induced apoptosis via the inhibition of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) pathway[2]. HX 531 (0.1μM; 45-60min) significantly inhibits Benzophenone-3 (BP-3)-induced neuronal apoptosis and partially reverses the effects of BP-3 on the expression of RXR receptors and epigenetic status[3].
In vivo, Wild-type mice treated with HX 531(2 weeks; p.o.) were protected from high-fat (HF) diet-induced hyperglycemia and insulin resistance[4]. The weight gain of OLETF rats treated with HX 531 (10mg/kg/day; 22 weeks; p.o.) was significantly suppressed, and the fat pad weight was significantly reduced, comparable to that of non-diabetic LETO rats[5].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | RBL-2H3 cells |
Preparation Method | Primary neuronal cell cultures were exposed to BP-3 (10-100μM) for 6 or 24h. The involvement of RXR signaling in BP-3-induced effects was verified with the high-affinity RXR antagonist HX 531 (0.1μM) and the RXR agonist DHA (1μM). Specific ligands were added to the culture media 45-60min before BP-3. Apoptotic cells were detected via Hoechst 33342 staining at 24h after treatment. Neocortical cells that were cultured on glass coverslips were washed with 10mM phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stained with Hoechst 33342 (0.6mg/ml) at room temperature (RT) for 5min. The cells containing bright blue fragmented nuclei, indicative of condensed chromatin, were identified as apoptotic cells. Qualitative analysis was performed using a fluorescence microscope. The level of cellular fluorescence from fluorescence microscopy images was determined using ImageJ software. |

Applications | HX 531 significantly inhibits Benzophenone-3 (BP-3)-induced neuronal apoptosis and partially reverses the effects of BP-3 on the expression of RXR receptors and epigenetic status. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Eight-week-old male Otsuka Long–Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats |
Preparation Method | Eight-week-old male Otsuka Long–Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, which serve as a model for obesity and type 2 diabetes, were divided into three groups: OLETF rats (OLETF group); OLETF rats treated with pioglitazone (PIO group); and OLETF rats treated with HX 531 (HX 531 group). Non-diabetic Long–Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats were fed a chow diet and served as the control group (LETO group). Pioglitazone and HX 531 were mixed into the diet, and each group orally received 1mg pioglitazone/kg body weight/day and 10mg HX 531/kg body weight/day throughout the experimental period. After conducting the described studies, the rats were sacrificed at 30 weeks of age. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg/day; 22 weeks; p.o. |
Applications | The weight gain of OLETF rats treated with HX 531 was significantly suppressed, and the fat pad weight was significantly reduced, comparable to that of non-diabetic LETO rats. |
