Biological Activity

HX531 is an orally active retinoid X receptor (RXR) antagonist. It inhibits transactivation mediated by RAR-RXR heterodimers and RXR homodimers, abrogating retinoic acid-induced anti-apoptotic effects. Furthermore, HX531 enhances activation of the p53–p21Cip1 pathway, leading to G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and the suppression of cellular hypertrophy in adipocytes, thereby exhibiting potent anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anti-melanoma properties.[1][2]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
