The landscape of GPR139 inhibitors is a blend of general GPCR modulators and a few specific chemicals like ML221 that act on GPR139 directly. GPR139, being an orphan GPCR, has potential avenues of regulation via modulating its G-protein-mediated signaling. Pertussis toxin, for instance, is a potent inhibitor of certain G-protein subtypes and can impact GPR139's actions as it couples through those specific subtypes. Likewise, YM-254890 and NF023, which target Gq/11 proteins and Gαi/o proteins respectively, offer similar regulatory avenues if GPR139 operates through these pathways.
Additionally, many GPCRs signal through downstream effectors such as phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC). Thus, compounds like U73122, a PLC inhibitor, and both chelerythrine chloride and Go6983, which are PKC inhibitors, can indirectly influence GPR139. Another integral aspect of GPCR signaling is the cAMP pathway. SQ 22536 and H89, which inhibit adenylate cyclase and protein kinase A (PKA) respectively, offer ways to modulate this pathway, potentially influencing GPR139 function.
