Description
IC50 & Target
pIC50: 8.13 (FFA1)[3]
In Vitro
AMG 837 (1 nM-10 μM) stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 142±20 nM on islets isolated from mice[1].
AMG 837 stimulates Ca2+ flux with the EC50s of 13.5, 22.6 and 31.7 nM for human, mouse and rat receptors in CHO cells, respectively[1].

In Vivo
AMG 837 (0.03-0.3 mg/kg; p.o. once daily for 21 days) reduces glucose levels and increases insulin levels following glucose challenge in vivo[1].
AMG 837 (0.5 mg/kg; p.o.) displays excellent oral bioavailability (F = 84%) and a total plasma Cmax of 1.4 µM[1].

Research Protocol for Endocrine Diseases
Endocrine diseases often arise from disrupted hormone production, hormone signaling, or target-tissue responsiveness; for diabetes-focused endocrine disease models, insulin signaling regulates glucose uptake, hepatic glucose output, lipid metabolism, and β-cell compensation. Type 2 diabetes develops through interacting defects in insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, adipose inflammation, hepatic glucose overproduction, altered incretin signaling, and ectopic lipid metabolism. A major unresolved question is whether endocrine dysfunction is driven primarily by target-tissue insulin resistance, intrinsic β-cell failure, immune/inflammatory stress, or combined multi-organ failure that differs by disease stage.
