Description | Setogepram (PBI-4050) acts as an orally active agonist for GPR40 and as an antagonist or inverse agonist for GPR84[1]. Setogepram (PBI-4050) decreases renal, liver and pancreatic fibrosis[1][2]. Setogepram (PBI-4050) exerts anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative actions[2]. |

In Vitro | Setogepram (PBI-4050; 500 µM; 24 hours) inhibits TGF-β (10 ng/mL)-activated human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) proliferation[2]. Setogepram (PBI-4050; 250 or 500 µM; 24hours) dose-dependently arrests HSCs at the G0/G1 phase without inducing apoptosis[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line: HSCs Concentration: 250 or 500 µM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited TGF-β-activated HSC proliferation. TGF-β (10 ng/mL) increased HSC proliferation by 10%. Cell Cycle Analysis[2] Cell Line: HSCs Concentration: 250 µM, 500 µM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited cell cycle progression. |
In Vivo | Setogepram (PBI-4050; 100 mg/kg/day; gavage from 8-20 weeks of age) markedly decreases hyperglycemia and markedly improvea glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetes eNOS-/-db/db mice[1]. Animal Model: Type 2 diabetes eNOS-/-db/db mice[1] Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day Administration: Given via daily gavage from 8-20 weeks Result: Compared with vehicle-treated mice, hyperglycemia was markedly decreased, and glucose tolerance was markedly improved. |
