LCRF-0004 is a potent and selective RON receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The RON receptor tyrosine kinase has been identified as an important mediator of KRAS oncogene addiction and is overexpressed in the majority of pancreatic cancers. Preclinical studies show that inhibition of RON function decreases pancreatic cancer cell migration, invasion, and survival and can sensitize pancreatic cancer cells to chemotherapy. RON receptor tyrosine kinase is a potential as a therapeutic target.
FFA2 allosteric agonist. Inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP increase and stimulates 35SGTPγS binding in biochemical assays (pEC50 values are 6.9 and 7.23, respectively). Binds at allosteric binding site. In functional assays, displays positive allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gi signaling and negative allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gq/G11 signaling. Inhibits lipolytic effect of isoproterenol (pEC50 = 5.03) and induces migration of human neutrophils in vitro.

LON63114, also known as FFA2-Agonist-1 is a selective orthosteric agonist of human FFA2. FFA2-Agonist-1 is potentially useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and inflammatory bowel diseases. LON63114 was reported in WO2011076732. This product has no formal name at the moment. For the convenience of communication, a temporal code name was therefore proposed according to MedKoo Chemical Nomenclature (see web page: https: www.medkoo.com page naming).
