Barbadin
Barbadin is a specific inhibitor of β-arrestin/β2-adaptin interactions, blocking agonist-promoted endocytosis of GPCRs like the β2-adrenergic receptor. It has been used in research on obesity, demonstrating in vivo effects such as potentiating lorcaserin-induced weight loss in animal models.
