Description

GCGR antagonist 2, a Furan-2-carbohydrazide, is an orally active glucagon receptor antagonist. GCGR antagonist 2 binds to hGluR with an Kd value of 2.3 nM, and inhibits rat receptor with an IC50 value of 0.43 nM. GCGR antagonist 2 inhibits glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis[1][2].

In Vitro

GCGR antagonist 2 (compound 74) (25 nM, 250 nM, and 2500 nM; 70 min) inhibits 5 nM glucagon-induced glycogenolysis in primary rat hepatocytes, with an IC50 value of 160 nM[1].
GCGR antagonist 2 (25 nM, 250 nM, and 2500 nM; 60 min) inhibits glucagon-stimulated cAMP level with the recombinant human glucagon receptor in BHK cells[1].
GCGR antagonist 2 (1 nM, 10 nM, and 100 nM; 60 min) inhibits glucagon-stimulated cAMP level with isolated rat liver glucagon receptor in BHK cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

GCGR antagonist 2 (0.5 mg/kg for IV, or 2 mg/kg for PO; single dose) shows mean half-lives of 1.11 h and 1.40 h, respectively[1].
GCGR antagonist 2 (0 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg; p.o.) at least partly, inhibits the action of the endogenous glucagon responsible for maintenance of euglycemia in glucagon-challenged Sprague-Dawley rats[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.55 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.55 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL. If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
