OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSBAY 55-9837 is a peptide vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 2 (VPAC2) agonist.1 It binds to VPAC2 (Kd = 65 nM) and selectively induces cAMP production in CHO cells expressing human VPAC2 over VPAC1 or the PACAP type I (PAC1) receptor (EC50s = 0.4, 100, and >1,000 nM, respectively). BAY 55-9837 (100 nM) increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion in isolated rat and human pancreatic islets. In vivo, BAY 55-9837 enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion in fasted rats (ED50 = ~3 pmol/kg).
