g protein-coupled receptor 68

Ogerin is a selective GPR68 positive allosteric modulator (pEC50: 6.83) that blocks recall in fear conditioning in mice. It exhibits inverse agonist and antagonist activity (Ki, 220 nM) at the A2A receptor and weak antagonist activity (Ki, 736 nM) at the 5-HT2B receptor.

ML-252 is a potent, selective inhibitor of the Kv7.2 voltage-gated potassium channel, demonstrating an IC50 value of 69 nM in patch clamp assays. It exists as the (S)-enantiomer, which is significantly more effective than both its (R)-enantiomer counterpart and the racemic mixture, with respective IC50 values of 944 nM and 160 nM. ML-252 exhibits high selectivity for Kv7.2 over other potassium channel subtypes and shows minimal activity against more than 68 G protein-coupled receptors, various transporters, L- and N-type calcium channels, K_ATP, and hERG potassium channels. However, it does inhibit the melatonin MT1 receptor by 61% at a 10 µM concentration.

MS48107 is a potent, selective positive allosteric modulator of G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68), demonstrating specificity for GPR68 over closely related proton GPCRs, neurotransmitter transporters, and hERG ion channels. It effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice.
