Background:

pIC50: 6.70 for human GPR35

CID-2745687 is a GPR35 antagonist. GPR35 is a poorly characterized member of the rhodopsinlike, class A subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs, based on the expression pattern, has been considered as a possible therapeutic target in conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, as well as inflammation and pain.

In vitro: Previous study indicated that both CID-2745687 and ML-145 could competitively inhibit the effects of cromolyn disodium and zaprinast (two agonists sharing an overlapping binding site) on human GPR35. In contrast, though ML-145 antagonized the effects of pamoate competitively, CID-2745687 showed a noncompetitive fashion. Additionally, neither ML-145 nor CID-2745687 was able to antagonize the agonist effects at rodent ortholog of GPR35 [1].

In vivo: To test whether GPR35 contributes to the metabolic effect of Zaprinast, the retina from Cngb1/ mice was preincubated with a GPR35 antagonist, CID-2745687, followed by an additional Zaprinast treatment. Results showed that CID-2745687 did not block the effect of Zaprinast on glutamate and aspartate. Moreover, pamoic acid, the GPR35 agonist, did not change aspartate or glutamate levels [1].

Clinical trial: N/A
