| Target |
IC50: 9 nM (GPR43)[1]
|
| In Vitro |
GLPG0974 is able to inhibit acetate-induced neutrophil migration strongly in vitro and demonstrates ability to inhibit a neutrophil-based pharmacodynamic (PD) marker, CD11b activation-specific epitope [AE], in a human whole blood assay[1].
|
| In Vivo |
GLPG0974 shows excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rat with a bioavailability of 47% and a linear increase of the plasma exposure after oral dosing at 5 and 30 mg/kg. The extended half-life observed following the increase of oral dose is consistent with the project objective to obtain long target coverage in human[1].

| Animal Admin |
Rats[1] GLPG0974 is orally dosed as a single esophageal gavage at 5−10 mg/kg and intravenously dosed as a bolus via the caudal vein at 1 mg/kg to male Sprague−Dawley rats. Each group consisted of three rats. Blood samples are collected[1].
