AMG-1 is a specific CRAC channel inhibitor. AMG-1 blocks the function of effector T cells, but not regulatory T cells in vitro and it attenuates the progression and severity of EAE in vivo.
ARRY-403, also known as AMG-151, is an orally available allosteric glucokinase (GK) activator developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). ARRY-403 has many favorable physicochemical characteristics and ADME properties (low potential to cause drug–drug interactions (DDIs). ARRY-403 potently activates human glucokinase (GK) in vitro (EC50 = 79 nM at 5 mM glucose), with an S0.5 = 0.93 mM glucose (ARRY-403 at 5 mM) and Vmax = 134% compared to the no activator control. It possesses good in vitro drug-like properties (aqueous solubility, cell permeability, low low potential for drug-drug interactions, low predicted hepatic clearance), and selectivity against broad panels of receptors and enzymes.
AMG-131 besylate is a hypoglycemic agent. It is a potent PPARγ partial agonist that displays robust glucose-lowering activity in rodent models of diabetes while exhibiting a reduced side-effects profile compared to marketed TZDs.
YM-543, also known as ASP-543, is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is a specifically expressed transporter in the kidney that plays an important role in renal glucose reabsorption, and its inhibition may present a novel therapeutic strategy for treating diabetes. YM543 potently and selectively inhibited mouse and human SGLT2 activities at nanomolar ranges. In vivo single oral administration of YM543 dose-dependently and significantly reduced blood glucose levels and improved glucose tolerance with a concomitant increase in urinary glucose excretion in KK Ay type 2 diabetic mice, effects that were sustained even after 12 h.
