BR103354
BR103354 is an orally active, selective fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 14 nM against hFAP. BR103354 restores the levels of phosphorylated ERK and Glut1 that are reduced by co-treatment with hFGF21 and FAP, decreases non-fasting blood glucose concentrations, improves glucose tolerance, and reduces hepatic triglyceride content. BR103354 ameliorates hepatic steatosis and hepatic fibrosis. BR103354 can be used in the research of type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

GLUT1 |
BR103354 (0.03 nM-100 μM; 60 min at 37°C) potently and selectively inhibits purified human FAP with an IC50 of 14 nM[1].
BR103354 inhibits serum FAP activity across mouse, cynomolgus monkey, and human samples with similar potency, with IC50 values ranging from 27 to 31 nM[1].

-
Cell Line:Differentiated 3T3/L1 adipocytes
-
Concentration:5 μM
-
Incubation Time:2 h (pre-incubation of hFGF21 with FAP; then added to cells)
-
Result:Restored phosphorylated ERK and Glut1 levels that had been reduced by co-treatment of hFGF21 with FAP, matching levels observed with hFGF21 treatment alone.

BR103354 (20-50 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 4 consecutive weeks) reduces non-fasting blood glucose levels in ob/ob mice, inhibits FAP activity by ≥80%, increases serum FGF21 levels by approximately 1.4-fold, and simultaneously improves their insulin resistance, glucose tolerance, and hepatic steatosis[1].
BR103354 (50 mg/kg; intranasal administration) inhibits FAP activity by 65%-83% and increases the level of intact FGF21 in normal cynomolgus monkeys by 1.5-3.5 folds[1].
BR103354 (10-30 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 10 consecutive weeks) inhibits FAP activity, increases serum FGF21 levels by 1.5-1.9 folds, reduces levels of hepatic enzymes and metabolic biomarkers, and ameliorates hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in CDAHFD-induced NASH mice[1].
