Biological Activity

[Description]:

GW9578 is a subtype-selective PPARα agonist (EC50s of 5 and 50 nM for murine and human PPAR-α) with potent lipid-lowering activity[1][2].

[Target]

mouse PPARα:5 nM (EC50)

h-PPARα:50 nM (EC50)

[In Vitro]

GW9578 exhibits activities on Murine PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, and PPAR-δ with EC50s of 0.005, 1.5, 2.6 μm, respectively. GW9578 exhibits activities on Human PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, and PPAR-δ with EC50s of 0.05, 1, and 1.4 μm, respectively[2]. Treatment of the CD8+ T-cell line, TK.1 cells with GW9578 (10 nM-1 μM; for 24 hours) is able to induce a dose-dependent increase in the amount of relative luciferase activity[3]. Treatment of murine T-cell thymoma EL-4 T cells with GW9578 (10 nM-10 μM; for 2 hours) leads to a significant decrease in IL-2 production compared with control cells[3].
