AP5

AP5 is a potent, orlly active, and selective GPR40 receptor agonist with a positive allosteric modulation of endogenous ligand (AgoPAM). AP5 demonstrates rat and human inositol monophosphate (IP1) EC₅₀ values of 0.49 nM and 0.8 nM against the GPR40 receptor, respectively. AP5 has the potential for type II diabetes research^[1]. IC50 & Target: EC50: 0.49±0.28 nM (GPR40 Receptor)^[1] In Vitro: AP5 is a potent and selective GPR40 AgoPAM that demonstrates excellent in vivo efficacy. In the GK rat oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), oral administration of AP5 1 h before an oral dextrose challenge shows that AP5 significantly reduces blood glucose levels compared to the vehicle. AP5 is determined to be more efficacious in this model, demonstrating maximally efficacious glucose lowering at a plasma concentration of 4.9 μM at 10 mg/kg^[1].
