Abstract

Compound 12 is a GPR40 agonist that realizes the full magnitude of efficacy possible via GPR40 receptor agonism. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated superior glucose lowering by 12 compared to fasiglifam (TAK-875), in a glucose dependent manner. The enhanced efficacy observed with the full agonist 12 was associated with both direct and indirect stimulation of insulin secretion.

Keywords: GPCR; GPR40 full agonist; GSIS; Insulin secretagogues; Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
