GB-110 selectively induces PAR2-mediated intracellular Ca2+ release in HT29 cells with an EC50 of 0.28 μM. GB-110 is a potent, orally active, and nonpeptidic protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2) agonist.

PAR2:.28 μM (EC50)

In an intracellular Ca2+ (iCa2+) mobilization assay using HT29 colon cancer cells, GB110 (EC50 240±20 nM; pEC50 6.7±0.05) is equipotent with the peptide agonist 2f-LIGRLO-NH2 (EC50 210±30 nM; pEC50 6.6±0.05), 10-fold more potent than SLIGRL-NH2, but ~35-fold less potent than trypsin (EC50 6±0.5 nM; pEC50 8.2±0.8).
