Identification of the first surrogate agonists for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR132

We report the first pharmacological tool agonist for in vitro characterization of the orphan receptor GPR132, preliminary structure–activity relationships based on 32 analogs and a suggested binding mode from docking.M.A.S. was supported by a research scholarship from the Drug Research Academy and Novo Nordisk A/S.
