Description

Ambrisentan is a selective ET type A receptor (ETAR) antagonist.

IC50 & Target

ETA

 

In Vitro

Ambrisentan is an endothelin type A receptor antagonist[1]. Ambrisentan induces Nrf2 activation. Endothelial permeability increased in BMEC monolayers at 24 h of hypoxia exposure and compared to vehicle control, Ambrisentan attenuates hypoxia-induced BMEC leak. These results are reversed when prior to treatment BMEC are transfected with siRNA against Nrf2[2].

In Vivo

In the Ambrisentan group, hepatic hydroxyproline content is significantly lower than in the control group (18.0 μg/g±6.1 μg/g vs 33.9 μg/g±13.5 μg/g liver, respectively, P=0.014). Hepatic fibrosis estimated by Sirius red staining and areas positive for α-smooth muscle actin, indicative of activated hepatic stellate cells, are also significantly lower in the Ambrisentan group (0.46%±0.18% vs 1.11%±0.28%, respectively, P=0.0003; and 0.12%±0.08% vs 0.25%±0.11%, respectively, P=0.047). Moreover, hepatic RNA expression levels of procollagen-1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) are significantly lower by 60% and 45%, respectively, in the Ambrisentan group. Inflammation, steatosis, and endothelin-related mRNA expression in the liver are not significantly different between the groups. Ambrisentan attenuates the progression of hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and reducing procollagen-1 and TIMP-1 gene expression. Ambrisentan did not affect inflammation or steatosis[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  0.5% CMC-Na/saline water

    Solubility: 12.5 mg/mL (33.03 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Cell Assay
[2]

Unless otherwise stated, for each BMEC experiment cells are randomly divided into 4 groups: (1) normoxia vehicle control (Nx-CTRL); (2) normoxia-treated; (3) hypoxia (24 h) control (Hx-CTRL) and (4) hypoxia (24 h) treated. As previously described, Nrf2 activators are added 24 h prior to any hypoxic exposures. Cell treatments are; Protandim (100 μg/mL), methazolamide (125 μg/mL, nifedipine (7 μg/mL) or Ambrisentan (40 μg/mL). In addition, some cells are treated with Nrf2 siRNA. In these experiments, siRNA is added 24 h prior to drug treatments. The rationale for 24 h hypoxia exposure for BMEC is to ensure that cells remained transfected with siRNA for the pre-treatment of drugs (24 h in normoxia) and during the 24 h hypoxia exposure. Data is collected from at least three separate cell culture preparations on three separate days (n=9)[2].

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
A total of 13 male FLS-ob/ob mice (age, 8 wk; body weight, 42.88 g±1.74 g) are used. At the age of 12 wk, male FLS-ob/ob mice are randomly assigned to the Ambrisentan (n=8) or control (n= 5) group. Intragastric gavage administration is carried out in conscious animals with an appropriately sized gastric tube. Ambrisentan (2.5 mg/kg per day) is orally administered every afternoon for 4 wk as a bolus through a gastric tube. Water is administered to the control group. At week 4, animals are fasted for 4 h and tail vein blood is drawn and subjected to blood glucose determination. Animals are killed by pentobarbital anesthesia injection after 4 wk and blood is collected from the right ventricle. Plasma samples are frozen and stored at -80°C Liver and visceral fat are then weighed, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C. Additional liver specimens are fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin for histological analysis.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
