Exendin-4 (Exenatide), a 39 amino acid peptide, is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist with an IC50 of 3.22 nM.
IC50&Target
IC50: 3.22 nM (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor)
体外研究
In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, exendin-4 significantly increases NO production, endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation, and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH1) level in a dose-dependent manner. Exendin-4 shows cytotoxic effects to MCF-7 breast cancer cells with IC50 of 5 μM at 48 hour.
体内研究
Both low- and high-dose exendin-4 treatment in ob/ob mice improve serum ALT and reduce serum glucose, and calculated HOMA scores compared with control. Exendin-4-treated ob/ob mice sustain a marked reduction in the net weight gain in the final 4 weeks of the study period. Animals treated with exendin-4 have more pancreatic acinar inflammation, more pyknotic nuclei and weigh significantly less than control rats. Exendin-4 treatment is associated with lower leptin levels as well as lower HOMA values in rats. Exenatide causes dose-dependent relaxation of rat thoracic aorta, which is evoked via the GLP-1 receptor and is mediated mainly by H2S but also by NO and CO.
