Biological Activity

WY-14643 (Pirinixic Acid) is a potent synthetic peroxisome proliferator and selective activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) with an EC50 of 1.5 μM. Activation of PPARα regulates genes involved in lipid metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and peroxisomal proliferation. Furthermore, target engagement suppresses inflammatory responses and modulates cellular lipid homeostasis across various preclinical cell models.

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).
