Disease relevance of GPR119

  • GPR119 therefore represents a novel and attractive potential target for the therapy of obesity and related metabolic disorders [1].
  • Furthermore, we have used the recombinant receptor to discover novel selective small-molecule GPR119 agonists, typified by PSN632408, which suppress food intake in rats and reduce body weight gain and white adipose tissue deposition upon subchronic oral administration to high-fat-fed rats [1].
