| 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. |
