A cell-permeable Niacin triazolo derivative that acts as a potent and selective agonist toward the human orphan G-protein-coupled receptor GPR109b/HM74, but not GPR109a/HM74A or b-adrenergic receptor. Effectively inhibits cAMP elevation induced by forskolin (5uM) and isoproterenol (1uM), respectively, in GPR109b-expressing CHO cells (EC50=400nM) and freshly isolated human adipocytes (EC50 about 1uM).Formula:C10H11N3O2Solubility:DMSO (50mg/ml), Ethanol (2mg/ml)Molecular Weight:205.2Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
