The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1; GPR40) is highly expressed in pancreatic β-cells and activated by medium and long-chain fatty acids.{13138} There is evidence of a link between FFAR1 (GPR40) and the ability of fatty acids to amplify glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, making this signaling pathway a potential target for regulating diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic disorders.{13139,14742} CAY10587 is a selective FFAR1 (GPR40) agonist (EC50 = 32 nM) that does not exhibit activity on the related FFARs: FFAR2 (GPR43) or FFAR3 (GPR41).{16584} At 100 nM, CAY10587 increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the rat insulin-secreting cell line INS-1E.{16584}
