GLPG0974 is an oral, high-affinity, potent and selective free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2, GPR43, IC50 = 9nM) antagonist [1]. GLPG0974 inhibits neutrophil activation and migration by blocking the agonistic effect of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) on FFA2, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects [2-3]. GLPG0974 is commonly used in inflammatory diseases [4].
In SH-SY5Y cells, treatment with GLPG0974 (100μM; 24h) significantly abolished the neuroprotective effect of a specific GPR43 agonist [5]. In myocardial cells, GLPG0974 (10μM; 5 minutes) prevents acetate-induced inhibition of myocardial contraction [6]. In IPEC-J2 cells, GLPG0974 (500nM; 24h) can restore PEDV replication in butyrate-pretreated IPEC-J2 cells [7].
In C57BL/6 mice, treated with GLPG0974 (1mg/kg; ig; 5 weeks) showed enhanced motor skills, increased numbers of fecal pellets, and significant improvement in constipation symptoms [8]. In the sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) mouse model established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery, GLPG0974 (1mg/kg; po; 24d) can reverse the cognitive protective and anti-neuroinflammatory effects of short-chain fatty acids [9]. In high-fat-diet (HFD) fed mice model, abdominal fat in mice significantly increased after intragastric administration of GLPG0974 (1mg/kg; ig; 24d) [10].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | SH-SY5Y cells |
Preparation Method | SH-SY5Y cells were seeded on a 96-well culture plate at a seeding density of 2.5 × 104 cells/well. All the cells were randomly incubated with various conditions of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mixture, propionate, and butyrate, 10nM GPR43 agonist (butanamide), and some experiments were combined with 100μM GPR43 antagonist (GLPG0974) or 5μM PLC inhibitor (U73122) in culture medium for 24h. |
Reaction Conditions | 100μM; 24h |
Applications | Pretreatment with a GPR43 antagonist (GLPG0974) significantly abolished the neuroprotective effect of a specific GPR43 agonist. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6 mice |
Preparation Method | Forty mice were used to further examine short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation under four experimental conditions: control, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), MPTP + SCFA, and MPTP + SCFA with a GPR43 inhibitor (GLPG0974). (1) The control group received 0.9% saline and regular drinking water; (2) the MPTP group received 18mg/kg MPTP in divided doses every two weeks for 5 weeks; (3) the MPTP + SCFAs group received the same MPTP treatment plus water supplemented with SCFAs; (5) the MPTP + SCFAs + GLPG0974 group, GLPG0974 at a dose of 1mg/kg, 3 times a week for 5 weeks. |
Dosage form | 1mg/kg; ig; 3 times a week for 5 weeks |
