Chemistry:AH-7614

From HandWiki

AH-7614 is an experimental drug which acts as a potent and selective antagonist for the free fatty acid receptor FFAR4 (GPR120), though it has also been described as an inverse agonist or negative allosteric modulator.[1][2] Agonists of FFAR4 have antiinflammatory effects and are of interest in the treatment of various conditions including diabetes and obesity, and as a selective FFAR4 antagonist AH-7614 is important for research into the function of this receptor.[3][4][5][6]
