4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description

Fatostatin (125B11), a diarylthiazole derivative, is a specific inhibitor of Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) activation. Fatostatin binds to SCAP (SREBP cleavage-activating protein), and inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs. Fatostatin suppresses growth and enhances apoptosis in cancer cells.
Targets
SREBP [1]
In vitro

Fatostatin impairs the activation process of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), thereby decreasing the transcription of lipogenic genes in cells. Fatostatin inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs through binding to their escort protein, the SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), at a distinct site from the sterol-binding domain.[1]
In vivo

Fatostatin blocks increases in body weight, blood glucose, and hepatic fat accumulation in obese ob/ob mice, even under uncontrolled food intake. Fatostatin may serve as a tool for gaining further insights into the regulation of SREBP.[1]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[1]
  • Cell lines

    CHO-K1 cells

  • Concentrations

    20 μM

  • Incubation Time

    20 h

  • Method

    CHO-K1 cells are plated out onto a 96-well plate in medium A. The cells are transiently cotransfected with pCMV-PLAP-BP2, pCMV-SCAP, and pAc-b-gal, using Lipofectamine reagent. After incubation for 5 hr, the cells are washed with PBS and then incubated in medium B, in the absence or presence of fatostatin (20 μM) or sterols (10 μg/mL cholesterol and 1 μg/mL 25-hydroxycholesterol). After 20 hr of incubation, an aliquot of the medium is assayed for secreted alkaline phosphatase activity. The cells in each well are lysed and used for measurement of b-galactosidase activities. The alkaline phosphatase activity is normalized by the activity of b-galactosidase.
Animal Study:

[1]
  • Animal Models

    4-to-5-week-old homozygous male obese (ob/ob) mice (C57BL/6J)

  • Dosages

    30 mg/kg

  • Administration

    IP
