GPCR antagonist-1
GPCR antagonist-1 is an orally active G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) antagonist as well as an insecticide. GPCR antagonist-1 induces intestinal microvillus destruction, reduces microfilarial secretion, increases the proportion of malformed embryos, inhibits nematode motility and L3-stage molting, and exerts L4-stage larvicidal activity. GPCR antagonist-1 can be used for the research of filarial infections.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
GPCR antagonist-1 (s-17) (day 3) inhibits adult female Brugia pahangi motility with an IC50 of 6.5 μM and adult male motility with an IC50 of 2.6 μM, with selectivity indices of 3.2 and 8, respectively[1].
GPCR antagonist-1 (day 7 (female); day 5 (male)) inhibits adult female Onchocerca ochengi motility with an IC50 of 0.29 μM and adult male motility with an IC50 of 3.6 μM[1].
GPCR antagonist-1 causes >50% molting inhibition of Onchocerca volvulus L3 larvae in vitro[1].
GPCR antagonist-1 shows larvicidal activity against Brugia pahangi L4 larvae in vitro[1].
GPCR antagonist-1 (30 μM; 3 days) destroys gut microvilli in adult female Brugia pahangi, while causing minimal damage to gonad contents in vitro[1].
GPCR antagonist-1 shows improved metabolic stability in mouse liver microsomes[1].
