In vitro characterization of A1120. A, chemical structure of A1120. B–D, representative radioligand binding isotherms for human RBP4 (B), mouse RBP4 (C), and human CRBP1 (D). In each case, [^3H]retinol was used as the radioligand. IC[50] values were 90 nm for hRBP4 (n = 11 independent determinations), 66 nm for mRBP4 (n = 4), and > 30 μm for hCRBP1 (n = 4). E, concentration-response curves in the FRET assay. Retinol was dosed in the presence of RBP4, TTR, and increasing concentrations of A1120 (0–1 × 10^-5 m, as shown on the right side). The K[i] of A1120 was 8.3 nm (n = 3).
