| Description: | The GPR40 protein activity according to the novel 3-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)hex-4-inoic acid derivative of the present invention was measured by investigating the changes in intracellular calcium concentration affected by the GRP40 activation. First, HEK-293 cells were transfected with human GPR40 DNA (Origene, RC218370) by using Fugene HD (Promega, E2311). The transfected HEK-293 cells were distributed in a 96-well black clear bottom floor plate (Costar, 3603), followed by culture. 24 hours later, the cell culture medium was replaced with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, 50 μl/well) supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS). To measure the calcium concentration, 50 μl of Fluo-4 reagent (Invitrogen, F10471) was added to each well, followed by culture in a 37° C. incubator for 2 hours. During the culture, the compounds of Examples and the compounds of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were diluted with 1×HBSS (Hank's Buffered Salt Solution) containing 20 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer, resulting in the preparation of the samples for treating the cells. 2 hours after the culture began, those prepared samples were automatically injected to the cells by using Flexstation 3 (Molecular Devices). Then, intracellular calcium concentration was measured for 120 seconds by using SoftMax Pro software. At this time, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was injected to the cells for the non-treated group, followed by measuring the calcium concentration therein. |
