Product Data
Biological target:
Pamoic acid is a potent GPR35 agonist with an EC50 of 79 nM.
In vitro activity:
To confirm that pamoic acid also activates GPR35 from other species, HEK293 cells were transiently cotransfected with plasmids for untagged mouse GPR35 and βarr2-GFP. Application of either pamoic acid (1 μM) or zaprinast (5 μM) induced trafficking of βarr2-GFP (Supplemental Fig. S5) was prevented by coincubation with CID2745687. Reference: Mol Pharmacol. 2010 Oct;78(4):560-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20826425/
In vivo activity:
This study shows in a mouse model of stroke that GPR35 activation by pamoic acid is neuroprotective. Pharmacological inhibition of GPR35 reveals that pamoic acid reduces infarcts size in a GPR35 dependent manner. The flowcytometric analysis shows the expression of GPR35 on the infiltrating monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils in the ischemic brain. Pamoic acid treatment results in a preferential increment of noninflammatory Ly-6CLo monocytes/macrophages in the ischemic brain along with the reduced neutrophil counts.
