GW438014A
Based on 1 Customer Validation
GW438014A is a selective NPY-Y5 receptor competitive antagonist capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, with IC50 values of 197 nM and 211 nM against human receptors. GW438014A reverses PYY-mediated inhibition of Forskolin (HY-15371)-induced cAMP production, reduces NPY-induced food intake and nocturnal food intake in rodents, decreases body weight gain and fat mass in Zucker rats, and inhibits centrally mediated feeding behavior. GW438014A can be used in research related to obesity and epilepsy.

Biological Activity
|
NPY Y5 receptor 197-211 nM (IC50) |
GW438014A potently and selectively binds to human Y5 receptors expressed in CHO cell membranes, with a binding IC50 of 211 nM, and shows no affinity for human Y1, Y2, or Y4 receptors at concentrations up to 10,000 nM[1].
GW438014A (10 min) acts as a competitive antagonist of human Y5 receptors in HEC-1B cells, reversing PYY-mediated inhibition of Forskolin (HY-15371)-induced cAMP production with a functional IC50 of 197 nM[1].
GW438014A is a potent, selective competitive antagonist of human Y5 receptors with minimal activity at other NPY receptor subtypes and unrelated targets[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
GW438014A (1-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly reduces food intake in 20-hour fasted Sprague-Dawley rats over 3 hours, with minimal effect at lower doses[1].
GW438014A (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly inhibits normal dark-cycle food intake in Sprague-Dawley rats over 16 hours[1].
GW438014A (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly reduces food intake in fasted ob/ob mice, with 50% inhibition persisting for 24 hours[1].
GW438014A (1-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) dose-dependently inhibits overnight dark-cycle food intake in ob/ob mice[1].
GW438014A (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) does not block the anticonvulsant effects of the Y5-preferring agonist AlaAibNPY in kainic acid-induced hippocampal seizures in male C57BL/6 mice[2].
GW438014A (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly accelerates ventral hippocampal rapid kindling acquisition in male Sprague-Dawley rats, reducing the number of stimuli needed to reach stage 2 by 46%, stage 3 by 48%, and stages 4-5 by 25%, while prolonging afterdischarge durations and increasing generalized seizure frequency during stimulation[3].
GW438014A (10 mg/kg; i.p.; twice daily; 4 days) significantly reduces weight gain, food intake, and fat mass in both obese and lean Zucker rats[1].
