In Vitro

Obeticholic acid (INT-747) increases the expression of FXR-regulated genes in rat hepatocytes^[1]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747) reduces expression of liver JNK-1 and JNK-2^[2]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747) (256 μg/mL) shows complete inhibition of bacterial growth in all strains tested.

In Vivo

Obeticholic acid (INT-747) (10 mg/kg/day) completely reverted cholestasis induced by E₂17α. Administration of Obeticholic acid (INT-747) partially prevents the impairment in total bile acid output caused by E₂17α by increasing the relative abundance of β-MCA and TCDCA and TDCA^[1]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747)7 (10 mg/kg) and HS increases the pulmonary congestion in the animals. INT-747 does not improve renal pathology in the HS-fed animals^[2]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747) (5 mg/kg) significantly increases survival in BDL rats. Obeticholic acid (INT-747)-treated BDL rats exhibits a significant selective ileal increase in expression of pore-closing claudin-1. Ileal expression of ZO-1 is significantly up-regulated in INT-747-treated BDL rats^[3].

Animal Administration
^[2]

Initially, all animals (at 6-weeks age) are placed on a standard rodent diet for a week. Baseline blood and urine samples are collected and basal blood pressure (BP) is measured prior to grouping the animals. Subsequently, the animals are randomized into low (LS; n=9) or high salt (HS) diet groups. Hypertension is induced in the HS group by daily high-salt diet feeding and the group is subdivided to receive one of two doses of INT-747: low dose (10 mg/kg/day; n=15) or high dose (30 mg/kg/day; n=15) in 1% methylcellulose; or vehicle (1% methylcellulose in distilled water; n=15) orally everyday for 6 weeks. In parallel, the LS group also receive 1% methylcellulose. BP is measured weekly for the duration of the study as described below.

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.
