In binding assays, AZ876 is 25-fold and 2.5-fold more potent than GW3965 on human (h)LXRα and hLXRβ respectively. In reporter transactivation assays, AZ876 is 196-fold and fivefold more potent than GW3965 on hLXRα and hLXRβ respectively. AZ876 is also more potent than GW3965 on mouse (m)LXRα (248-fold) and mLXRβ (10.5-fold). AZ876 is four- to sevenfold more potent than GW3965 on the expression of ABCA1 mRNA in hamster and human blood PMN cells. AZ876 is highly selective with respect to other nuclear hormone receptors, including retinoid X receptor, farnesoid X receptor, thyroid hormone receptor (TR)α or TRβ, when tested in agonist mode in fluorescence resonance energy transfer assays.
