The GPR40/FFA1 receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the pancreatic islets and enteroendocrine cells. Here, we report the pharmacological profiles of (3)-3-cyclopropyl-3-{2-[(1-{2-[(2,2-dimethylpropyl)(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)carbamoyl]-5-methoxyphenyl}piperidin-4-yl)methoxy]pyridin-4-yl}propanoic acid (SCO-267), a novel full agonist of GPR40. Ca signaling and insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion were evaluated in GPR40-expressing CHO, MIN6, and GLUTag cells. Hormone secretions and effects on fasting glucose were tested in rats. Single or repeated dosing effects were evaluated in neonatally streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (N-STZ-1.5 rats), diet-induced obese (DIO) rats, and GPR40-knockout ( ) mice. Treatment with SCO-267 activated Gq signaling in both high- and low--expressing CHO cells, stimulated insulin secretion in MIN6 cells, and induced GLP-1 release in GLUTag cells. When administered to normal rats, SCO-267 increased insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, and peptide YY (PYY) secretions under nonfasting conditions. These results show the full agonistic property of SCO-267 against GPR40. Hypoglycemia was not induced in SCO-267-treated rats during the fasting condition. In diabetic N-STZ-1.5 rats, SCO-267 was highly effective in improving glucose tolerance in single and 2-week dosing studies. DIO rats treated with SCO-267 for 2 weeks showed elevated plasma GLP-1 and PYY levels, reduced food intake, and decreased body weight. In wild-type mice, SCO-267 induced GLP-1 secretion, food intake inhibition, and body weight reduction; however, these effects were abolished in mice, indicating a GPR40-dependent mechanism. In conclusion, SCO-267 stimulated islet and gut hormone secretion, improved glycemic control in diabetic rats, and decreased body weight in obese rats. These data suggest the therapeutic potential of SCO-267 for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
GPR40/FFA1 受体是一种在胰腺胰岛和肠内分泌细胞中表达的 G 蛋白偶联受体。在这里,我们报告了新型 GPR40 全激动剂(3)-3-环丙基-3-{2-[(1-{2-[(2,2-二甲基丙基)(6-甲基吡啶-2-基)氨基甲酰基]-5-甲氧基苯基}哌啶-4-基)甲氧基]吡啶-4-基}丙酸(SCO-267)的药理学特征。在表达 GPR40 的 CHO、MIN6 和 GLUTag 细胞中评估了 Ca 信号转导和胰岛素及胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)的分泌。在大鼠中测试了激素分泌和对空腹血糖的影响。在新生链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病大鼠(N-STZ-1.5 大鼠)、饮食诱导肥胖(DIO)大鼠和 GPR40 敲除()小鼠中评估了单次或重复给药的效果。用 SCO-267 处理可激活高表达和低表达的 CHO 细胞中的 Gq 信号,刺激 MIN6 细胞中的胰岛素分泌,并诱导 GLUTag 细胞中 GLP-1 的释放。在正常大鼠中,SCO-267 在非禁食条件下增加胰岛素、胰高血糖素、GLP-1、葡萄糖依赖性胰岛素释放肽和肽 YY(PYY)的分泌。这些结果表明 SCO-267 对 GPR40 具有完全激动剂的特性。在禁食条件下,用 SCO-267 治疗的大鼠不会引起低血糖。在单次和 2 周给药研究中,SCO-267 对糖尿病 N-STZ-1.5 大鼠具有改善葡萄糖耐量的高度有效性。用 SCO-267 治疗 2 周的 DIO 大鼠显示血浆 GLP-1 和 PYY 水平升高,摄食量减少,体重减轻。在野生型小鼠中,SCO-267 诱导 GLP-1 分泌、抑制摄食和减轻体重;然而,这些作用在 小鼠中被消除,表明这是一种 GPR40 依赖性机制。总之,SCO-267 刺激胰岛和肠道激素分泌,改善糖尿病大鼠的血糖控制,并降低肥胖大鼠的体重。这些数据表明 SCO-267 治疗糖尿病和肥胖症的潜在治疗价值。
