3-(1H-Tetrazol-5-yl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-cyclopentapyrazole (MK-0354): A Partial Agonist of the Nicotinic Acid Receptor, G-Protein Coupled Receptor 109a, with Antilipolytic but No Vasodilatory Activity in Mice
摘要:
The discovery and profiling of 3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-cyclopeiitapyrazole (5a, MK-0354), a partial agonist of GPR 109a, is described. Compound 5a retained the plasma free fatty acid lowering effects in mice associated with GPR109a agonism, but did not induce vasodilation at the maximum feasible dose. Moreover, preadministration of 5a blocked the flushing effect induced by nicotinic acid but not that induced by PGD(2). This profile made 5a a suitable candidate for further study for the treatment of dyslipidemia.
