ABSTRACT
The Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is activated endogenously by primary and secondary bile acids. This receptor is considered a candidate target for addressing inflammatory and metabolic disorders. We have targeted TGR5 with structure-based methods for ligand finding using the recently solved experimental structures, as well as structures obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. Through addressing the orthosteric as well as a putative allosteric site, we identified agonists and positive allosteric modulators. While the predicted binding locations were not in line with their efficacy, our work contributes activating small-molecule ligands that we have thoroughly characterized in vitro.
