Biological Data

Biological description

Newly identified, highly selective FFA2-DREADD agonist which acts as a selective orthostatic agonist at the engineered hFFA2 (human free fatty acid2)-DREADD receptor and shows no activity at wild-type hFFA2, hFFA3 or mouse FFA2 receptors. Displays improved potency and comparable efficacy to the alternative hFFA2-DREADD activator sorbic acid  in hFFA2-DREADD transgenic mice. In cells expressing the hFFA2-DREADD receptor, MOMBA inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP levels, reduces gut transit and induces a FFA2 specific concentration dependent release of GLP-in colonic crypts and GLP-1 and PYY secretion in intact colon. Active in vivo and orally bioavailable.
