Description: AMG 837 calcium hydrate is a novel, orally bioavailable and potent GPR40 agonist with EC50 of 13 nM and with a superior pharmacokinetic profile and robust glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion in rodents. Agonists of GPR40 (FFA1) have been proposed as a means to treat type 2 diabetes. The activity of AMG 837 on GPR40 was characterized through GTPgammaS binding, inositol phosphate accumulation and Ca(2+) flux assays. Activity of AMG 837 on insulin release was assessed on isolated primary mouse islets. AMG 837 was a potent partial agonist in the calcium flux assay on the GPR40 receptor and potentiated glucose stimulated insulin secretion in vitro and in vivo. Acute administration of AMG 837 lowered glucose excursions and increased glucose stimulated insulin secretion during glucose tolerance tests in both normal and Zucker fatty rats. The improvement in glucose excursions persisted following daily dosing of AMG 837 for 21-days in Zucker fatty rats. Preclinical studies demonstrated that AMG 837 was a potent GPR40 partial agonist which lowered post-prandial glucose levels. These studies support the potential utility of AMG 837 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
