Description of Gitogenin

Gitogenin is a natural steroid isolated from the whole plant of Tribulus longipetalus. Gitogenin is a selective inhibitor of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4) and enzyme α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 0.69 μM (use trifluoperazine as a substrate) and 37.2 μM, respectively, and does not inhibit the activities of major human cytochrome P450 isoforms[1][2].

When tamoxifen is used as the substrate metabolized by UGT1A4 in HLMs, Gitogenin exhibits potent inhibition of tamoxifen, with an IC50 value of 6.13 µM. Similarly, for midazolam as the substrate of UGT1A4, the IC50 value is 5.7 µM. In addition, when olanzapine is used as a substrate of UGT1A4, the IC50 value is determined as 6.0 µM. Finally, we also evaluats Gitogenin for asenapine glucuronidation mediated by UGT1A4, and similar inhibition effect is observed, with an IC50 value of 22.0 µM[1].

Stimulation of growth hormone release is investigated on rat pituitary cells in vitro. Gitogenin (20 μg/mL) shows rat growth-hormone (rGH) release stimulating activities (26.1 ng/mL)[3].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
