The purinergic P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 receptor (P2X7R) plays a critical role in various inflammatory processes and other diseases. Fast determination of compounds P2X7R binding potency and discovery of a promise PET radiotracer for imaging P2X7R require a P2X7R suitable radioligand for radioactive competitive binding assay. Herein, we designed and synthesized thirteen new P2X7R ligands and determined the in vitro binding potency.

Orally bioavailable, synthetic nonpeptide agonists (NPAs) of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) may offer an effective, scalable pharmacotherapy to address the metabolic disease epidemic. One of the first molecules in the emerging class of GLP-1R NPAs is orforglipron, which is in clinical development for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. Here, we characterized the pharmacological properties of orforglipron in comparison with peptide-based GLP-1R agonists and other NPAs.
