Bioactivity | AMG7703 is a selective and allosteric agonists of FFA2 (GPR43), the receptor for short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), acetate, and propionate. AMG7703 can be used to research for in inflammatory and metabolic[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | AMG7703 (phenylacetamide 1) (30 μM) shows selectivity on FFA2 (GPR43) over FFA1 (GPR40) and FFA3 (GPR41) with in Chinese hamster ovary cells[1].AMG7703 (0.041, 0.123, 0.37, 1.11 μM) acts as an FFA2 allosteric agonist, activates Gαi coupled signaling pathway[1].AMG7703 (1, 3, 10, 30 μM) results in Gαi-dependent inhibition of lipolysis in adipocytes (3T3L1)[1].AMG7703 (0.041, 0.123, 0.37, 1.11 μM) exhibits allosteric activity and inhibits Gαi-coupled cAMP with IC50 values of 0.7 μM (hFFA2) and 0.96 μM (mFFA2), respectively; as for Gαq-coupled aequorin inhibition, with EC50s of 0.45 μM (hFFA2) and 1.27 μM (mFFA2), respectively[1].AMG7703 (0-1 μM) shows the positive cooperating effect of acetate and stimulates calcium mobilization in a concentration-dependent manner in CHO cell stably expressing hFFA2 and aequorin[1]. | ||||||||||||
