4-CMTB is a selective free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2/GPR43) agonist and a positive allosteric modulator[1]. FFA2, also known as GPR43, is a G protein-coupled receptor activated by short-chain fatty acids that plays key roles in metabolism, immune regulation, and inflammatory responses[2]. 4-CMTB is usually used to study the mechanism of action of FFA2 receptors in inflammatory diseases, including asthma, colorectal cancer, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, as well as metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and insulin resistance[3][4].
In vitro, 4-CMTB (25μM; 48h) reduced cell viability, decreased cell migration and invasion, increased FFAR2/FFAR4 gene expression, yet decreased their protein levels in SW-480 cells[5].
In vivo, 4-CMTB (20mg/kg; i.p.; 30min before OVA challenge) inhibited OVA-induced immune cell accumulation in BALF and reduced mucin production in ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma BALB/c mice[6]. 4-CMTB (10mg/kg; i.p.; administered 30min before DNCB challenge) reversed DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis in BALB/c mice, suppressed ear epidermal hypertrophy, and reduced mast cell infiltration, serum IgE elevation and IL-4/IL-13 expression[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line SW-480 |
Preparation Method | Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, SW-480 (CCL-228) were cultured in RPMI media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2mM L-glutamine, 50U/mL penicillin, and 50µg/mL streptomycin. The cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37℃. All experiments were carried out between passages 5 to 15. Seeding quantities were such that the confluence of the control wells did not exceed 80% at the end of the experiment. Cells were seeded on a 96-well plate at the density of 6,000cells/well and incubated for 24h. Then, cells were incubated with 4-CMTB (25µM) for 48h. MTT assay was used to measure the cytotoxicity. Matrigel BM matrix assay was used for measuring the capacity of cancer cells to motility. And cells were collected for qPCR and western blot analyses. |
Reaction Conditions | 25μM; 48h |
Applications | 4-CMTB reduced cell viability, decreased cell migration and invasion, increased FFAR2/FFAR4 gene expression, yet decreased their protein levels in SW-480 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female five-week-old BALB/c mice |
Preparation Method | Female five-week-old BALB/c mice were housed in the laboratory animal facility provided ad libitum water and food. Mice (22g) were randomly divided into four groups (n=5): phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-injected control group, ovalbumin (OVA)-injected asthma group, OVA-injected and 10mg/kg 4-CMTB-treated group, and OVA-injected and 20mg/kg 4-CMTB-treated group. Asthma was induced by intraperitoneal injection of OVA and aluminum hydroxide on D0 and D14. Mice were challenged by exposing to nebulized OVA for D28, D29, and D30. 4-CMTB was dissolved in DMSO as a stock solution of 100mM. The stock was diluted in corn oil (50μL) just before the experiment. 4-CMTB was treated via intraperitoneal injection 30min before OVA challenge. We collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from the lungs on D32, and cell population of BALF cells was analyzed after staining. Tissue sections of lungs from mice of each group were prepared for histological examination. |
Dosage form | 10 or 20mg/kg; i.p.; 30min before OVA challenge |
Applications | 4-CMTB inhibited OVA-induced immune cell accumulation and reduced mucin production in ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma BALB/c mice. |
