Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Treatment with Calhex 231 dramatically lowers the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts [1]. Treatment with Calhex 231 markedly reduced the expression of MMP2/9, Col-I/III, α-SMA, and CaSR. In cardiac fibroblasts, calhex231 attenuates high glucose-induced heart fibrosis [1]. Calhex 231 has the ability to suppress the Itch (atropin-1 interacting protein 4)-ubiquitin proteasome and TGF-β1/Smads pathways. This means that it can lessen the effects of glucose-induced myocardial fibrosis, reduce collagen deposition, and stop the growth of cardiac fibroblasts [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In type 1 diabetes model (T1D) rats, intraperitoneal injection of Calhex 231 (4.07 mg/kg (10 µmol/kg) given daily for 12 weeks; male Wistar rats) ameliorates diabetic myocardium fibrosis [1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell proliferation assay[1] Cell Types: Primary neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (CF) Tested Concentrations: 3 µM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished cardiac fibroblast proliferation. Western Blot Analysis [1] Cell Types: primary neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) Tested Concentrations: 3 µM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: CaSR, α-SMA, Col-I/III, and MMP2/9 were Dramatically expressed Downregulation. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats (8 weeks old) injected with streptozotocin [1] Doses: 4.07 mg/kg (10 µmol/kg) Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; daily; continued for 12 weeks Experimental Results: Type 1 Diabetic myocardial fibrosis is improved in diabetic rats. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~33.33 mg/mL (~75.17 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.64 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
