GPCR antagonist-2
GPCR antagonist-2 is a GPCR antagonist with macrofilaricidal activity. GPCR antagonist-2 shows inhibitory effects on Brugia pahangi adult females and males (IC50 = 3.9 μM and 2.8 μM, respectively) and Onchocerca ochengi adult females and males (IC50 = 0.35 μM and 1.7 μM, respectively). GPCR antagonist-2 reduces B. pahangi worm burden and affects female fecundity and embryogenesis, downregulates GPCR expression in surviving adult female worms and can be used for the study of filarial infections, including onchocerciasis (river blindness).

Biological Activity
GPCR antagonist-2 (compound C-8) (30 μM; 3 days) causes ultrastructural damage to adult female B. pahangi, including embryo deformation, vacuolization of embryos, and destruction of hypodermal chords[1].

GPCR antagonist-2 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; b.i.d 6 h apart; for 10 days) significantly increases the proportion of deformed embryos while decreasing normal embryos and eggs in adult female Brugia pahangi in vivo[1].
GPCR antagonist-2 downregulates GPCR expression in surviving adult female Brugia pahangi after in vivo treatment[1].
GPCR antagonist-2 upregulates stress-related genes including rpf-1, tfsm-1, sna-1, and hddc3 in treated Brugia pahangi adult females[1].
GPCR antagonist-2 shows no significant toxicity or body weight loss in treated gerbils during the 10-day dosing period[1].
