Ivacaftor (VX-770) is a potent and orally bioavailable small molecule potentiator of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Studies in both G551D- and F508del-CFTR expressing cells have shown VX-700 combined with forskolin, but not VX-700 alone, has significantly increased CFTR-mediated Cl-secretion. The EC50 values of VX-700 in G551D- and F508del-CFTR are 100 nM and 25 nM, respectively [1].
VX-770 has been reported to reduce ENaC-mediated Na+ absorption and increase the amount of fluid on the apical surface in human CF bronchial epithelia (HBE) carrying G551D/F508del [1]. VX-770 combined with OAG has been shown to increase G551D-CFTR activity and OAG-dependent Ca2+ influx and in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells [2].

Cell lines
CHO-G551D cells
Preparation method
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20 °C for several months.
Reaction Conditions
10 μM; 0 ~ 8 mins
Applications
In CHO-G551D cells, VX-770 activated G551D-CFTR channel, and OAG + VX-770 increased G551D-CFTR activity by 58%.
