In Vitro

BAR501 is a selective GPBAR1 agonist devoid of FXR agonistic activity. It effectively transactivates GPBAR1 in HEK293 cells overexpressing a CRE along with GPBAR1, with an EC50 of 1 μM. Exposure of GLUTAg cells to BAR501 (10 μM) increases the expression of GLP-1 mRNA by 2.5 folds[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Pretreating rats for 6 days with BAR501, 15 mg/kg, reduces basal portal pressure and blunts the vasoconstriction activity of norepinephrine. Pretreatment with BAR501 attenuates the hepatic vasomotor activity induced by shear stress and methoxamine. Administration of BAR501 exerts a direct vasodilatory activity in the CCl4 model. Treating mice with BAR501 at the dose of 15 mg/Kg reduces portal pressure and AST plasma levels. BAR501 attenuates endothelial dysfunction by regulating CSE expression/activity[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% EtOH    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (7.38 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (7.38 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 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 EtOH stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

For GPBAR1 mediated transactivation, HEK-293T cells are plated at 10000 cells/well in a 24 well-plate and transfected with 200 ng of pGL4.29, a reporter vector containing a cAMP response element (CRE) that drives the transcription of the luciferase reporter gene luc2P, with 100 ng of pCMVSPORT6-human GPBAR1, and with 100 ng of pGL4.70. At 24 h post-transfection, HepG2 and HEK293T cells are incubated with 10 μM BAR501 for 18 h and luciferase activities are assayed and normalized against the Renilla activities[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: C57BL6 mice are administered i.p. 500 μL/Kg body weight of CCl4 in an equal volume of paraffin oil twice a week for 9 weeks. CCL4 mice are randomized to receive BAR501 (15 mg/Kg daily by gavage) or vehicle (distilled water). Serum bilirubin, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase are measured by routine biochemical clinical chemistry[1].

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.
