TAK-875 is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable GPR40 (G protein-coupled receptor 40) agonist with an EC50 value of 0.014μM for human GPR40. GPR40 is highly expressed in pancreatic β cells and β cell lines in humans and rodents, and has also been found in multiple regions of the human brain. TAK-875 demonstrates potent plasma hypoglycemic and insulin-promoting effects in oral glucose tolerance tests of female Wistar fat rats with impaired glucose tolerance, and has been selected as a clinical candidate drug for the treatment of diabetes[1].
In vitro, TAK-875 dose-dependently increased intracellular inositol monophosphate (IP) production and Ca²⁺ levels at 0.1-10µM and 3-30µM in rat insulinoma INS-1 833/15 cells under 1-10mM glucose, and stimulated insulin secretion at 0.001-10µM in the presence of 10mM glucose[2]. TAK-875 at 6.25-100µM for 72h did not alter glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, insulin content, or caspase-3/7 activity in INS-1 833/15 cells[2].
In vivo, intravenous administration of TAK-875 at 1mg/kg in rats resulted in a plasma clearance (CL) of 34.16mL/h·kg, a terminal half-life (t₁/₂λ) of 4.7h, and a steady-state volume of distribution (Vd(ss)) of 208.49mL/kg, whereas oral gavage at 3mg/kg resulted in good absorption, with an AUC0–24h of 65µg·h/mL, a Cmax of 5.77µg/mL, and an oral bioavailability of 76%[1]. TAK-875 (1-10mg/kg; p.o.) significantly improved glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin secretion in type 2 diabetic N-STZ-1.5 rat models[2]. TAK-875 (10mg/kg; p.o.) significantly increased plasma insulin levels and reduced fasting hyperglycemia in male Zucker diabetic fatty rats[2].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | INS-1 832/13 cells |
Preparation Method | Cells were seeded at a density of 2x104 cells/well in a 96-well black plate coated with poly-D-lysine, and 1% BSA and 0.1% DMSO alone (control), palmitic acid (62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000μM), oleic acid (62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000μM), or TAK-875 (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100μM) was added to the plate with 1% BSA and 0.1% DMSO, followed by culture for 72h. After the culture, caspase 3/7 activity was measured with the Apo-one homogeneous caspase 3/7 assay. |
Reaction Conditions | 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100μM; 72h |
Applications | In these cells, 72h exposure to palmitic acid (62.5-1000μM) and oleic acid (62.5-1000μM) caused dose-dependent enhancement of caspase 3/7 activity, and statistically significant effects were observed at doses above 250μM palmitic acid and 500μM oleic acid. In contrast, TAK-875 (6.25-100μM) did not show any effect on caspase 3/7 activity under the same conditions. |
| Animal experiment [1]: | |
Animal models | SD rats (8 weeks old) |
Preparation Method | SD rats (8 weeks old) were fasted overnight and orally given vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose), TAK-875 (10 or 30mg/kg), nateglinide (50mg/kg), or glibenclamide (10mg/kg). Blood samples were collected from the tail vein before drug administration (time 0) and 0.5, 1, 2, and 3h after drug administration, and plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured as described above. |
Dosage form | 10 or 30mg/kg; p.o. |
Applications | Nateglinide (50mg/kg) lowered plasma glucose levels below normal fasting levels in SD rats by increasing plasma insulin. glibenclamide (10mg/kg) gradually decreased plasma glucose levels below normal fasting levels with a significant increase in plasma insulin levels. In contrast, TAK-875 at 30mg/kg, which is a 3- to 10-fold higher dose compared with the dose that improved glucose tolerance in diabetic rats, did not alter fasting glucose levels in SD rats with normal glucose homeostasis. TAK-875 did not significantly alter insulin secretion in SD rats with normal fasting glucose levels. |
