10 Questions

True or false: Class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are not important drug targets

False

True or false: Injectable peptide drugs targeting GLP1R and PTH1R have been developed

True

True or false: Orally available small-molecule drugs targeting GLP1R and PTH1R are currently available

False

True or false: The high-resolution structure of human PTH1R in complex with Gs and a small-molecule agonist, PCO371, was reported in the article

True

True or false: The binding site of PCO371 on PTH1R is located at the extracellular interface

False

What is the main focus of the article?

The main focus of the article is the activation of class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by a biased intracellular agonist.

Which receptors are mentioned as important drug targets?

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) and parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) are mentioned as important drug targets.

What is the binding site of PCO371 on PTH1R?

The binding site of PCO371 on PTH1R is located at the cytoplasmic interface.

What is the current status of orally available small-molecule drugs targeting GLP1R and PTH1R?

Orally available small-molecule drugs targeting GLP1R and PTH1R remain under development.

What is the purpose of the reported high-resolution structure?

The purpose of the reported high-resolution structure is to reveal the unexpected binding mode of PCO371 on PTH1R with Gs.
