GW9508 is a potent and selective G protein-coupled receptors FFA1 (GPR40) and GPR120 agonist with pEC50s of 7.32 and 5.46, respectively. GW9508 shows ~100-fold selectivity for GPR40 over GPR120. GW9508 is inactive against other GPCRs, kinases, proteases, integrins and PPARs. GW9508 is a glucose-sensitive insulin secretagogue and an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels opener. Anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic activities[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

GW9508 stimulates intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in HEK-293 cells expressing GPR40 (pEC50 of 7.32) or GPR120 (pEC50 of 5.46), but not in the parent HEK-293 cell line[1].
GW9508 produces a concentration-dependent increase (pEC50 of 6.14) in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion at high glucose levels (25 mM). This resulted in a 1.52-fold increase in insulin secretion with 20 μM GW9508 in the presence of 25 mM glucose, compared with 25 mM glucose alone. The ability of GW9508 (10 μM) to enhance insulin secretion from MIN6 cells is significantly enhanced as glucose concentrations are increased[1].
GW9508 inhibits CCL17 and CCL5 expression in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. The inhibitory effect by GW9508 is abrogated by depletion of GPR40 with RNA interference. GW9508 further suppresses expression of IL-11, IL-24, and IL-33 induced in HaCaT cells by TNF-α and IFN-γ. GW9508 also inhibits CCL5 and CXCL10 production by normal human epidermal keratinocytes[2].

In Vivo

Administration of GW9508 200 (μM) topically to the skin suppresses ear swelling in a repeated hapten application model (BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice) and contact hypersensitivity with downregulation of CCL5 and CXCL10, respectively[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.20 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.20 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
