MK-8666

• Description :

  MK-8666 is a potent and selective partial GPR40 agonist (EC50 = 0.54 nM for human GPR40) . MK-8666 shows selectivity over GPR119, GPR43, GPR41, GPR120, and other G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) . MK-8666 reduces glucose in the rodent. MK-8666 can be used for type 2 diabetes research[1][2].
