GIP receptor antagonist (IC50 = 2.6μM). Inhibits GIP-stimulated insulin release from pancreatic β cells in vitro. In ob/ob mice, blocks the effects of GIP on insulin release and plasma glucose levels. Also improves intraperitoneal glucose tolerance, insul
Potent endogenous neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR) agonist (EC50 = 3 nM). Induces mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Increases locomotor activity and wakefulness in mice. Also reduces anxiety-like behavior in mice.
