Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
PPARα
1.5 μM(EC50)
In vitro

WY 14643 (10 μM) almost completely inhibits interleukin-1-induced production of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin and expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in aortic smooth-muscle cells, through repression of NF-κB signaling. WY14643 (250 μM) reduces VCAM-1 expression levels significantly, to 52 % of TNF-α-stimulated human endothelial cells. Pretreatment of endothelial cells with WY 14643 (10 μM) before TNF-α stimulation reduces U937 cell adhesion by 50%.

In vivo

WY 14643 (1 mg/kg i.v. bolus) administration at 30 min before left anterior descending occlusion, causes significant reduction in infarct size of ∼44% in rats subjected to regional myocardial ischemia (25 min) and reperfusion (2 h). WY 14643 (3 mg/kg) lowers basal plasma levels of glucose, triglycerides (-16% vs. untreated), and leptin (-52%), and also muscle triglyceride (-34%) and total long-chain acyl-CoAs (LCACoAs) (-41%) in high fat-fed rats. WY14643 substantially reduces visceral fat weight and total liver triglyceride content without increasing body weight gain. WY14643 enhances whole body insulin sensitivity (clamp glucose infusion rate increases 35% and glucose disposals 22%, vs. untreated). WY 14643 enhances insulin-mediated muscle glucose metabolic index (Rg') in red (47%) and white (63%) muscles as well as in white adipose tissue (90%), and reduces muscle triglyceride and LCACoA accumulation.
