Application

RG-239, a betulinic acid derivative and TGR5/Gpbar-1 agonist, is used to study the role of bile acid activated TGR5 in intestinal motility, inflammation, energy production, glucose homeostasis, glycemic control, obesity and liver steatosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Semisynthetic derivative of betulinic acid (3β-allylbetulinic acid), RG-239 is an agonist at the G-protein coupled receptor TGR5. TGR5 signalling induces glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) release in brown adipose tissue, enhancing glucose tolerance and attenuating diet-induced obesity.
