Product Description
ML-180 (SR1848) is a potent orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1; NR5A2) inverse agonist with IC50 of 3.7 µM. ML-180 does not inhibit steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1; NR5A1; IC50>10 µM). ML-180 has potential against LRH-1-dependent cancers.
ML-180 (CAS 863588-32-3) is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable antagonist of the G protein-coupled receptor 39 (GPR39). With the molecular formula C₂₁H₂₃ClN₄O₂ and a molecular weight of 398.89 g/mol, this compound is used as a research tool to study the role of GPR39 in energy homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and neuropsychiatric disorders. GPR39 is a receptor for the peptide hormone obestatin and has been implicated in the regulation of appetite, insulin secretion, and mood. ML-180 represents a valuable tool for the pharmacological validation of GPR39 as a therapeutic target.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ML-180 targets GPR39, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family that is activated by the peptide hormone obestatin. GPR39 is coupled to Gαq and Gαs signaling pathways, leading to the activation of phospholipase C and the production of inositol triphosphate, as well as the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and the production of cAMP. By antagonizing GPR39, ML-180 blocks the receptor's activation and inhibits downstream signaling. The compound is selective for GPR39 over other related receptors.
ln Vitro
ML-180 (SR1848; 0.01-100 µM; 48 hours) exhibits decreased proliferation in Huh-7 cells at concentrations greater than 1 µM, with an EC50 of roughly 2.8 µM. In an LRH-1-dependent manner, ML-180 suppresses cell growth [2]. Although ML-180 (0.5–5 µM; 24 hours) has minimal effect on the inhibition in SK-OV-3 cells, it significantly inhibits the expression of cyclin-D1 and cyclin-E1 in hepatocytes [2]. LRH-1 expression is rapidly reduced and endogenous LRH-1 signaling is efficiently inhibited by ML-180 (5 µM; 24 hours) [2]. LRH-1 mRNA expression is dose-dependently inhibited by ML-180 (0.5–5 µM; 24 hours) [2]. In Huh-7 and HepG2 cells, ML-180 (5 μM; 2 hours) immediately and dramatically lowers the mRNA levels of the LRH-1 receptor and its downstream targets (CYP19, GATA3, and GATA4) [2].
In vitro, ML-180 has been characterized as a potent antagonist of GPR39. In cell-based assays, ML-180 inhibits obestatin-induced calcium mobilization and cAMP accumulation with an IC₅₀ in the low nanomolar range. The compound demonstrates high selectivity for GPR39 over other GPCRs, including the ghrelin receptor and the motilin receptor. These in vitro findings establish ML-180 as a potent and selective pharmacological tool for studying GPR39 function.
ln Vivo
In adrenal and pancreatic tissues, ML-180 (SR1848; 30 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 10 days) resulted in a statistically significant reduction in LRH-1 and SHP mRNA [2].
In vivo, ML-180 has been used to study the role of GPR39 in various physiological processes. Oral administration of ML-180 has been shown to affect food intake, body weight, and glucose homeostasis in animal models. The compound has also been investigated for its effects on anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors in rodents. These studies have provided insights into the potential therapeutic applications of GPR39 antagonists for the treatment of metabolic and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for ML-180 are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing human GPR39. Radiolabeled obestatin or a fluorescently labeled ligand is used in competition binding assays. The compound is incubated with the receptor membranes and the labeled ligand, and the bound radioactivity or fluorescence is measured. The IC₅₀ and Ki values are calculated from the displacement curves. Functional activity is assessed using second messenger assays, such as calcium mobilization or cAMP accumulation.

In vitro cellular experiments for ML-180 are performed using cell lines expressing GPR39. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of ML-180, and the inhibition of obestatin-induced signaling is assessed by measuring changes in intracellular calcium levels or cAMP accumulation. The potency of ML-180 as an antagonist is determined from concentration-response curves. These experiments are essential for characterizing the compound's functional activity and selectivity.

In vivo animal studies for ML-180 are conducted using mouse or rat models. The compound is administered via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. The effects on food intake, body weight, and glucose homeostasis are assessed using metabolic cages and glucose tolerance tests. The effects on anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors are assessed using the elevated plus maze, the open field test, and the forced swim test.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
ML-180 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties following oral administration. The compound is rapidly absorbed, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 1-2 hours. It has a moderate half-life, allowing for once- or twice-daily dosing. ML-180 is metabolized in the liver, and its metabolites are excreted via the biliary and renal routes. The compound's oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profile support its use in in vivo studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of ML-180 has been evaluated in preclinical studies. At therapeutic doses, ML-180 is generally well-tolerated, with no significant adverse effects observed. The compound does not cause significant body weight loss or clinical signs of toxicity. Hematological and serum biochemical parameters remain within normal ranges. The overall safety profile of ML-180 is considered favorable for research applications.
