AMG837 sodium salt is a potent GPR40 agonist(EC50=13 nM) with a superior pharmacokinetic profile and robust glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion in rodents. IC50 value: 13 nM (EC50) [1] Target: GPR40 agonist AMG837 displayed the expected t
AM-3189 is a potent and selective GPR40 Agonist with minimal CNS penetration, superior pharmacokinetic properties and in vivo efficacy comparable to AMG837. AM-3189 maintains the in vivo efficacy of AMG837 while displaying a superior pharmacokinetic profile and minimal CNS exposure. Similar to AMG837, while highly potent on GPR40, AM-3189 was highly selective over the closely related GPCRs, GPR41 and GPR43. 13kdemonstrated low clearance, moderate volume of distribution, and good oral bioavailability. AM-3189 does not penetrate the rat CNS as indicated by a rat brain to plasma ratio of 0.04 at 3 h after an oral dose of 5 mg kg.
