Product Description
AM-4668 is a GPR40 agonist being studied in type 2 diabetes. The EC50 of GPR40 activation was 3.6 nM and 36 nM in A9 cells and CHO cells, respectively.
AM‑4668 (compound 10) is a potent and selective GPR40 (FFA1) agonist identified as a structurally distinct backup for AMG 837. It was designed with increased polar surface area to reduce central nervous system (CNS) penetration while maintaining potent GPR40 agonism. AM‑4668 exhibits excellent pharmacokinetic properties across species (rat, dog, cynomolgus monkey) and demonstrates glucose‑lowering efficacy in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in human GPR40 knock‑in mice.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GPR40 (FFA1) – EC₅₀ (aequorin assay, buffer with 0.01% HSA) = 36 ± 10 nM; EC₅₀ (IP₃ accumulation assay, 0.3% human serum) = 3.6 nM.
Insulin secretion in isolated islets from hGPR40 knock‑in mice – EC₅₀ = 55 nM (in 16.7 mM glucose, 0.1% HSA).
ln Vitro
(1) In aequorin assay using CHO cells stably transfected with human GPR40, AM‑4668 showed EC₅₀ = 36 ± 10 nM. [1]
(2) In inositol phosphate (IP₃) accumulation assay using A9 cells expressing human GPR40, AM‑4668 gave EC₅₀ = 3.6 nM. [1]
(3) In isolated pancreatic islets from human GPR40 knock‑in mice, AM‑4668 stimulated insulin secretion with EC₅₀ = 55 nM (in buffer containing 16.7 mM glucose and 0.1% human serum albumin). [1]
(4) AM‑4668 showed no inhibition of hERG channel (IC₅₀ not reported, >30 µM implied) and demonstrated low potential for CYP inhibition and induction (no specific IC₅₀ values given). [1]
ln Vivo
In an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in female human GPR40 knock‑in mice (28 weeks old), oral administration of AM‑4668 at 10 mg/kg (formulated in 1% methylcellulose and 1% Tween‑80) 1 h before glucose challenge (2 g/kg glucose) significantly reduced blood glucose levels. The glucose AUC in treated animals was 19% lower than in vehicle‑treated controls. [1]
Enzyme Assay
The aequorin assay measured GPR40 activation in CHO cells stably transfected with human GPR40, using aequorin as a calcium indicator; assay buffer contained 0.01% human serum albumin. The inositol phosphate accumulation assay used A9 cells stably expressing human GPR40, with 0.3% human serum, and measured IP₁ accumulation. Detailed protocols are referenced from prior publications (refs 14 and 15). No direct enzyme kinetic or binding experiments were described. [1]
Cell Assay
(1) Aequorin assay: CHO cells expressing human GPR40 were treated with compounds, and calcium mobilization was measured via aequorin luminescence; EC₅₀ values determined. [1]
(2) IP₃ accumulation assay: A9 cells expressing human GPR40 were treated with compounds, and IP₁ accumulation was quantified; EC₅₀ values determined. [1]
(3) Insulin secretion assay: Islets isolated from human GPR40 knock‑in mice were incubated with AM‑4668 in buffer containing 16.7 mM glucose and 0.1% human serum albumin; insulin release was measured to determine EC₅₀. [1]
Animal Protocol
Female human GPR40 knock‑in mice (28 weeks old) were fasted for 6 h, then dosed orally with AM‑4668 at 10 mg/kg in 1% methylcellulose and 1% Tween‑80. One hour later, an oral glucose challenge (2 g/kg glucose) was administered. Blood glucose was measured from tail vein samples at various time points using a blood glucose monitoring system. [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Rat: CL = 0.09 L/h/kg, t₁/₂ = 5.3 h, Vdss = 0.68 L/kg, oral F = 77%.
Dog: CL = 0.15 L/h/kg, t₁/₂ = 5.6 h, Vdss = 0.60 L/kg, oral F = 100%.
Cynomolgus monkey: CL = 0.04 L/h/kg, t₁/₂ = 14 h, Vdss = 0.35 L/kg, oral F = 65%.
Brain‑to‑plasma ratio in rat at 3 h after a 5 mg/kg oral dose was 0.02, indicating low CNS penetration. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
AM‑4668 showed no inhibition of hERG channel (IC₅₀ > 30 µM, no exact value reported) and exhibited low potential for drug‑drug interactions based on CYP inhibition and induction assays (no specific IC₅₀ or fold‑induction values provided). No other toxicity data (e.g., LD₅₀, organ toxicity) are reported. [1]

Additional Infomation
AM‑4668 (compound 10) is an isoxazole derivative with a polar surface area of 85.5 Ų (vs. 46.5 Ų for AMG 837). It was synthesized via Michael addition, nitrile oxide formation, deprotection, alkylation, and hydrolysis (Scheme 1). It is a potent GPR40 agonist with excellent PK properties across species and efficacy in an OGTT model. The compound was designed to avoid CNS exposure while retaining peripheral insulin‑secretagogue activity. No clinical trial or FDA approval status is mentioned. [1]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
