Biological Activity
INT-747 is a potent and selective farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist with an EC50 of 99 nM.
In Vitro
6-ECDCA increases the expression of FXR-regulated genes in rat hepatocytes[1]. INT-747 reduces expression of liver JNK-1 and JNK-2[2]. INT-747 (256 μg/mL) shows complete inhibition of bacterial growth in all strains tested. Intestinal permeability remains unaffected after INT-747-addition to an IFN-γ-exposed intestinal epithelium of Caco-2 cells[3].
In Vivo
6-ECDCA (10 mg/kg/day) completely reverted cholestasis induced by E217α. Administration of 6-ECDCA 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]. INT-747 (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]. INT-747 (5 mg/kg) significantly increases survival in BDL rats. 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].
