A cell-permeable, orally available, phenoxypyrimidine carboxamide derivative that acts as a highly potent and selective agonist of Protein coupled receptor TGR5 (EC50 = 720 pM and 6.2nM for human and mouse TGR5, respectively). Does not exhibit any significant affinity towards other related targets such as GPR40, GPR119, and GPR120. Shown to increase glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in a dose-dependent manner and significantly reduce blood glucose levels in db/db mice following a single oral dose (50mg/kg). Exhibits desirable pharmacokinetic properties in rodent models (t½ = 1.5h, Cmax = 56ng/ml; and AUC = 147ng.h/ml following an oral dose of 5mg/kg).
Solubility:DMSO
Primary Target:TGR5
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
