AP5 is a potent and selective agonist for the GPR40receptor with positive allosteric modulation of endogenous ligands (AgoPAM). AP5 demonstrates a rat hIP1 EC50 of 0.49 nM against the GPR40receptor.
BMS-986118 is a full agonist of GPR40, is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed primarily in pancreatic islets and intestinal L-cells that has been a target of significant recent therapeutic interest for type II diabetes. Activation of GPR40 by partial a
ZLY032 is a dual agonist of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1 GPR40; EC50= 68 nM in a FLIPR assay) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ; EC50= 102 nM in a reporter assay).1It is selective for FFAR1 and PPARδ over PPARα and PPARγ (EC50s = >10 μM for both). ZLY032 (40 mg kg, twice per day) reduces blood glucose levels in an oral glucose tolerance test and decreases plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in theob obmouse model of metabolic disease.2It reduces hepatic steatosis and plasma alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a methionine and choline-deficient diet at the same dose. 1.Li, Z., Chen, Y., Zhou, Z., et al.Discovery of first-in-class thiazole-based dual FFA1 PPARδ agonists as potential anti-diabetic agentsEur.

Selective medium-chain free fatty acid receptorGPR84 agonist (EC50 = 139 nM). Exhibits no response at GPR40, GPR41, GPR119 or GPR120 at 100 μM. Activates calcium mobilization, inhibits cAMP accumulation, and induces ERK1 2 phosphorylation, receptor desensitization and internalization in vitro.

MK-8666 Tris is a partial GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) agonist that is coordinated with the action of GPR40. GPR40, also known as free fatty acid (FFA) receptor 1 modulates fatty acid-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells and in intestinal enteroendocrine cells. Thus, MK-8666 Tris has been investigated for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and has been shown to robustly lower glucose without negative effects.
