(R)-3 (NPS 2143) is a negative allosteric modulator of the human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and as such represents an important pharmacological tool compound for studying the CaSR. Herein, we disclose for the first time a complete experimental description, detailed characterisation and assessment of enantiomeric purity for (R)-3. An efficient, reproducible and scalable synthesis of (R)-3 that requires a minimum of chromatographic purification steps is presented. (R)-3 was obtained in excellent optical purity (er > 99:1) as demonstrated by chiral HPLC and the pharmacological profile for (R)-3 is in full accordance with that reported in the literature.

Background/objectives: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a multifunctional receptor proposed as a possible drug target for inflammatory bowel disease. We showed previously that CaSR inhibition with NPS 2143, a negative allosteric modulator of the CaSR, somewhat ameliorated the symptoms of chemically induced severe colitis in mice. However, it was unclear whether the potential of CaSR inhibition to reduce colitis may have been overshadowed by the severity of the induced inflammation in our previous study.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) plays a crucial role in regulating glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release. Our previous study observed that pea protein hydrolysate (PPH) exhibited the function of triggering GLP-1 secretion. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been revealed.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies highlight the important role of astrocytes in managing drug-seeking behaviors, particularly in the dorsal striatum, which is crucial for reward processing.
- Researchers investigated how calcium (Ca) levels in astrocytes affect neuronal signaling after rats were trained to self-administer cocaine, finding that over-expressing a specific Ca pump in astrocytes led to increased cocaine-seeking behavior after extinction.
- The findings suggest that while astrocyte Ca plays a role in regulating neuronal Ca transients, changes in this regulation are influenced by cocaine self-administration experience rather than acute cocaine exposure.

Uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) is a hormone secreted by osteoblasts that strengthens bone during mineralization and is a biomarker for ongoing bone formation. It also regulates glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, its effect on β-cells under hyperglycemic diabetic conditions is unclear.
