GW3965 can be used in biological study of effect of liver X receptor agonists, T0901317 and GW3965 treatment on cholesterol efflux and apoptosis in human CAL-1 and GEN2.2 blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm cells.
ChEBI: GW 3965 is a diarylmethane.
Selective, orally active non-steroidal agonist for the liver X receptor (LXR). In cell-based reporter gene assays, acts as a full agonist of hLXR α and hLXR β (EC 50 values are 190 and 30 nM respectively). Up-regulates ABCA1 gene expression and raises circulating HDL levels. Displays potent antiatherogenic activity in mouse models of atherosclerosis.
