Biological Activity

Description TUG-891 is a potent and selective agonist of the long chain free fatty acid (LCFA) receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120), which demonstrates both potential opportunity and possible challenges to therapeutic agonism.
Targets
FFA4/GPR120 [1]
In vitro
In vitro

TUG-891 displays similar signaling properties to the LCFA α-linolenic acid at human FFA4 across various assay end points, including stimulation of Ca²⁺ mobilization, β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 recruitment, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation. Activation of human FFA4 by TUG-891 also results in rapid phosphorylation and internalization of the receptor. [1]

Cell Research Cell lines Human FFA4-eYFP Flp-In T-REx cells, HT-29 cells
Concentrations 10 μM
Incubation Time 1.5 min, 5 min, 45 min
Method

Intracellular Ca2+ is monitored for 1.5 min after TUG-891 treatment, and the measured response is taken as the peak signal over this time course. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK) phosphorylation is examined in Flp-In T-REx cell lines, or in HT-29 cells after 5 minutes of TUG-891 treatment. For visualization of FFA4 Internalization, human FFA4-eYFP Flp-In T-REx cells are cultured on poly-d-lysine coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 hours before treatment with doxycycline (100 ng/ml) to induce receptor expression. Live cells are imaged after TUG-891 addition using a confocal microscopy system.

In vivo

TUG-891 acutely increases fat oxidation and reduces body weight and fat mass in C57Bl/6J mice by activating GPR120.[2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
