Description: Selective orthostatic agonist of hFFA2-DREADDs
Chemical Name: 4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for MOMBA
MOMBA is a selective orthosteric agonist for human free fatty acid 2 (hFFA2) engineered receptors, designer receptors activated by designer drugs (DREADD), it shows no activity to wild-type hFFA2, hFFA3, and mouse FFA2. MOMBA inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels in cells expressing the hFFA2-DREADD receptor with improved potency and equivalent efficacy to Sorbic acid (Cat. No. 7119). In hFFA2-DREADD transgenic mice, MOMBA treatment significantly reduces gut transit and promotes concentration-dependent release of GLP-1 from colonic crypts. Orally bioavailable.

Chemogenetics Research Bulletin
Produced by Tocris, the chemogenetics research bulletin provides an introduction to chemogenetic methods to manipulate neuronal activity. It outlines the development of RASSLs, DREADDs and PSAMs, and the use of chemogenetic compounds. DREADD ligands and PSEMs available from Tocris are highlighted.
Allosteric GPCR Pharmacology Poster
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are intrinsically allosteric proteins. This poster provides insights into allosteric mechanisms of GPCR biology, highlighting key facets of GPCR allostery and therapeutic applications of allosteric modulators.
GPCR Efficacy and Biased Agonism Poster
GPCRs can interact with multiple distinct transducers or regulatory proteins and these can be preferentially engaged in an agonist-specific manner giving rise to biased agonism. This poster discusses cutting edge GPCR signaling pharmacology and highlights therapeutic applications of biased agonism.
