| Application: | GW9508 has been used in: • cell proliferation assay in pancreatic cancer cells • in motility assay in melanoma cells • cell invasion assay in colon cancer cells |
| Application: | GW9508, a selective FFA1/GPR40 agonist, may be used to differentiate and characterize the free fatty acid receptor FFA1/GPR40. GW9508 is used to study the role of FFA1/GPR40 receptors in processes such as the free fatty acid enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin release and type 2 diabetes. GW9508 is used to study the process by which FFA1/GPR40 receptors protect from ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo though inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and suppress complete Freund′s adjuvant (CFA)-Induced inflammatory chronic pain. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | GW9508 is a selective FFA1/GPR40 agonist. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | GW9508 is a selective FFA1/GPR40 agonist. GPR40 was formerly an orphan G protein-coupled receptor whose endogenous ligands have now been identified as free fatty acids (FFAs). The receptor, named FFA receptor 1, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and is a drug target because of its role in FFA-mediated enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin release. GW9508 showed greater than 500-fold selectivity for GPR40 over GPR41 and GPR43 and possessed a good in vitro and in vivo profile with excellent bioavailability. GW9508 stimulated intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells expressing GPR40 or GPR120, but not in the parent HEK-293 cell line. GW9508 dose dependently potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in MIN6 cells, but not in primary rat or mouse islets. GW9508 potentiates the KCl-mediated increase in insulin secretion in MIN6 cells. |
