Therapeutic activity of GW9508 (FFAR1 agonist), 4-CMTB (FFAR2 agonist), AR420626 (FFAR3 agonist), and GSK137647 (FFAR4 agonist) was investigated in two models of semi-chronic colitis: induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS), mimicking Crohn’s disease, as well as induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), which recapitulates ulcerative colitis in humans. This evidence concerns the gene FFAR3 and Chronic colitis.
