| Bioactivity | 3-Chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid is a potent, orally active and selective lactate receptor GPR81 agonist, with an EC50 of 16 μM for human GPR81. 3-Chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid exhibits favorable in vivo effects on lipolysis in a mouse model of obesity[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | 3-Chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid shows potency against human (EC50=16 μM), monkey (EC50=17 μM), dog (EC50=67 μM), rat (EC50=7 μM), mouse (EC50=22 μM), and hamster GPR81 (EC50=27 μM)[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | 3-Chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg; PO in overnight fasted C57Bl6/J mice fed high fat chow for 10 weeks) shows significant reductions in free fatty acids at all doses tested, resulting in a minimum efficacious dose of 30 mg/kg[1].Pharmacokinetic Parameters of 3-Chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid in Mice[1]. dose (mg/kg) | ||||||||||||
