  • Patent number: 8329419
    Abstract: Provided herein are cell-based bioassays for measuring GLP-I receptor agonist activity of test compounds, such as GLP-I receptor agonist compounds. Exemplary GLP-I receptor agonist compounds include exendins, exendin analogs, GLP-1(7-37), and GLP-1(7-37) analogs. The bioassays are useful for quantitatively determining cAMP generated in samples containing GLP-I receptor agonist compounds (e.g., exenatide) and 6-23 (clone 6) cells having GLP-I receptors, whereby the amount of cAMP generated can be correlated to the GLP-I receptor agonist activity of the GLP-I receptor agonist compounds (e.g., exenatide). Suitable cell-based bioassays include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence assays.
