TGR5 Receptor Agonist is a potent and selective agonist of TGR5 G-protein receptor with a pEC50 value of 6.8 in the U2-OS cell assay [1].
TGR5 Receptor Agonist has been shown the activated potency of TGR5 receptor with pEC50 values of 6.8 and 7.5 in the U2-OS cells and melanophire cells assay, respectively. In addition, TGR5 Receptor Agonist has been found to be fully specific for the human TGR5 receptor in the U2-OS and melanophore cell lines and also selective against other 7TM receptors. Besides, TGR5 Receptor Agonist has been reported to have physicochemical properties and no measurable activity against the common cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoforms or hERG dofetilide binding with a pIC50 value of <4.3.
