Uses
VU0453379 is a highly selective and central nervous system (CNS) penetrant positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of glucagon-like peptide-1R (GLP-1R) with an EC50 of 1.3 μM[1].
Biological Activity
VU0453379 is a highly selective CNS penetrant positive allosteric modulator of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) with GLP-1 EC50 = 1.3 μ,M, 59.2% GLP-1 max. VU0453379 potentiated low-dose exenatide to augment insulin secretion in primary mouse pancreatic islets. In a model of Parkinson′s disease it showed a significant reversal of haloperidol-induced catalepsy at 30 mg/kg.
