Acifran
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Acifran (AY 25712) is an orally active, full GPR109A and GPR109B agonist and hypolipidemic agent. Acifran reduces Forskolin (HY-15371)-induced cAMP elevation, triggers ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation, and inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue through Gi-coupled GPCR activation. Acifran is used for research on atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes.

In Vitro
Acifran is a full agonist of GPR109a, with an EC50 of 1.3 μM in the cAMP whole-cell assay and an EC50 of 4.2 μM for GPR109b[1].
Acifran (10-50 μg/mL) shows weak binding to rat and dog serum proteins, and significantly displaces protein-bound Warfarin (HY-B0687) only in dog serum[2].
Acifran (5 min) activates ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation with an EC50 of 160 nM in CHO-K1 cells expressing HM74A and an EC50 of 316 nM in CHO-K1 cells expressing HM74 [3].
Acifran (1 μM) induces strong phosphorylation of p-ERK1/ERK2 in CHO-K1 cells expressing HM74A and HM74, and this effect is completely inhibited by Pertussis toxin[3].
Acifran (20-200 μM; 5 min) induces phosphorylation of p-ERK1/ERK2 in CHO-K1 cells stably expressing HM74A[3].
Acifran (20-200 μM; 5 min) activates ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in CHO-K1 cells stably expressing HM74[3].
