Glucagon receptor antagonists-5 is an orally bioavailable indazole-based glucagon receptor antagonist (Ki: 32 nM). It has potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
[Des-His1,Glu9]-Glucagon amide TFA is a potent peptide antagonist targeting the glucagon receptor, featuring a pA2 value of 7.2. It holds potential utility in diabetes pathogenesis research[1].
Glucagon receptor antagonist I is a competitive antagonist of the glucagon receptor (GCGR; IC50 = 181 nM). It blocks glucagon-induced glycogenolysis in primary human hepatocytes and isolated liver. Glucagon receptor antagonist I, at 50 mg/kg, reduces the increase in glucose levels observed after intraperitoneal administration of glucagon in humanized mice. Glucagon receptor antagonist inactive control does not prevent glucagon-mediated actions.
