Invitro | GSK2033 is a LXR antagonist with pIC50s of 7 and 7.4 for LXRα or LXRβ, respectively. GSK2033 dose-dependently suppresses basal transcription in full-length LXRα or full-length LXRβ cotransfection assays with IC50s of 17 nM and 9 nM, respectively. GSK2033 also effectively suppresses the transcription of an ABCA1 driven luciferase reporter dose-dependently displaying IC50s of 52 nM for LXRα and 10 nM for LXRβ. GSK2033 also suppresses the expression of both of fatty acid synthase (FASN) and SREBP1[2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | One month treatment of GSK2033 does not have significant effects on hepatic triglyceride levels. Plasma triglyceride levels are also unaffected by treatment with GSK2033[2]. | ||||||||||||
