 Use of Exicorilant


Exicorilant (CORT 125281) is a selective and oral active glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist, with a Ki value of 7 nM[1]. Exicorilant (CORT 125281) has potential to overcome adiposity, glucose intolerance and dyslipidaemia[2].

Ki: 7 nM (GR)[1].

In Vitro Exicorilant (CORT 125281) reverses corticosterone-mediated GR activity in murine brown adipocytes in vitro[1].
In Vivo Exicorilant (CORT 125281) reduces body weight, fat mass and plasma lipids in HFD-fed mice[2]. Exicorilant (CORT 125281) (6, 20 or 60 mg/kg/d, for 3 weeks in mice) at different dosages reduce body weight, fat mass, plasma TG, cholesterol and FFA in a dose-dependent manner, with no effect on lean mass[2]. Animal Model: Ten-week old male C57BL/6J mice HFD-fed[2]. Dosage: 6, 20, 60 mg/kg. Administration: Orally mixed with food daily for 3 weeks. Result: Reduced HFD-induced body weight gain with approximately 10% for CORT125281 at d21. Significantly lowered plasma TG (-56%) and cholesterol levels (-30%).
