Acifran (AY-25,712), an uncommercialized Ayerst compound exerting lipid-lowering activity in vivo, has been shown to also elicit similar effects as niacin in preliminary clinical testing and has been shown to bind to both high affinity (HM74A; GPR109A) and low affinity (HM74; GPR109B) niacin receptors. The EC50 values of the separated acifran enantiomers for the GPR109a and 109b receptors showed that, as with acifran itself, the (+)-enantiomers were essentially twice as active as the racemic mixtures, whereas the activity of the (-)-enantiomers was more variable and highly dependent on purity. S-enantiomer of acifran is the active principle. All of the activity of racemic acifran could be attributed to the (S)-enantiomer, and hence, from this precedent, (+)-enantiomers would be assigned to the S-configuration. However, the absolute configuration was not confirmed experimentally.
