Tryptophan-cholic acid
GPCR Agonist
Tryptophan-cholic acid (Trp-CA) serves as an agonist for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor MRGPRE, exhibiting an EC50 of 9.6 μM. This compound facilitates the secretion of glucagon-like peptide GLP-1, improving glucose tolerance in diabetic mouse models. Although Trp-CA is orally effective, its poor absorption and inability to cross the blood-brain barrier limit its systemic application. Its primary research applications focus on understanding mechanisms in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and investigating treatments for insulin secretion and hepatic steatosis associated with high-fat diets.
