PRIMARY Biological Activity: Potent and selective hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2, GPR109A) full agonist; exhibits greater potency than niacin in a whole cell HTRF-cAMP assay (EC50 values are 12.9 and 51 nM respectively). Exhibits no binding at the GRP109B receptor.

ACTIVE MOIETY
Compound R,R-19a (MK-1903) was advanced through preclinical studies, was well tolerated, and presented no apparent safety concerns. Compound R,R-19a was advanced into a phase 1 clinical trial and produced a robust decrease in plasma free fatty acids. On the basis of these results, R,R-19a was evaluated in a phase 2 study in humans. Because R,R-19a produced only a weak effect on serum lipids as compared with niacin, we conclude that the beneficial effects of niacin are most likely the result of an undefined GPR109a independent pathway. In table 3. is found the pharmacokinetics of compounds R,R-19a and R,S-endo-19b in several species.
