Abstract: GPR40 (FFAR1 or FFA1) is a G protein-coupled receptor, primarily expressed in pancreatic islet β-cells and intestinal enteroendocrine cells. When activated by fatty acids, GPR40 elicits increased insulin secretion from islet β-cells only in the presence of elevated glucose levels. Towards this end, studies were undertaken towards discovering a novel GPR40 Agonist whose mode of action is via Positive Allosteric Modulation of the GPR40 receptor (AgoPAM). Efforts were made to identify a suitable GPR40 AgoPAM tool molecule to investigate mechanism of action and de-risk liver toxicity of GPR40 AgoPAMs due to reactive acyl-glucuronide (AG) metabolites.
