AS2034178 is a GPR40 agonist [1] with an hEC50 value of 380 nM [2].

GPR40 is a receptor of free fatty acid. It regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion [1].

AS2034178 can improve glucose homeostasis and maintain or enhance islet beta cell functions [3]. AS2034178 demonstrated highly and dose-dependently increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels [1]. The maximum efficacy of the increase in Ca2+ was nearly equal to that of an endogenous ligand of GPR40, namely linolenic acid. But the potency of AS2034178 was much higher than that of linolenic acid. Human GPR41-, GPR43-, GPR119-, and GPR120-overexpressing CHO cells were developed to evaluate the increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration caused by AS2034178. Only GPR40-expressing cells showed increased intracellular Ca2+. In pancreas b-cell–derived MIN6 cells, AS2034178 dose-dependently and significantly induced insulin secretion only under high-glucose conditions (22.4 mM) [1].

In ob/ob mice, chronic treatment with AS2034178 significantly improved whole-body glucose metabolism, insulin, HbA1c, and pancreatic insulin levels [2]. In normal mice, AS2034178 at 0.3 to 10 mg/kg dose-dependently induced the suppression of plasma-glucose increases after oral administration with glucose, and the area decrease under the plasma glucose concentration-time curve was significant at doses over 1 mg/kg. After oral glucose administration, plasma insulin levels increased and at 5 minutes after glucose administration were dose-dependently and significantly increased at AS2034178 dosages over 3 mg/kg [1].
