Recall Merck also tried to get an "improved niacin" by targeting the same receptor with MK-0354, which despite significant decreases in FFAs levels and absence of flushing failed to demonstrate effects on HDL/LDL-Cholesterol and TGs in phase II. Obviously, being a GPR109A receptor agonist isn't all.
