Abstract

A weak, nonselective G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) agonist 10 was found by screening a series of carboxylic acids derived from the Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonist 3. Modification based on the homology model of GPR120 led to the first GPR120-selective agonist 12. These results provide a basis for constructing new tools for probing the biology of GPR120 and for developing new candidate therapeutic agents.
