MK-6892

Research use only, not for human use.

MK-6892 is a selective and full agonist for the high-affinity nicotinic acid receptor GPR109A (Ki: 4 nM; GTPγS EC50: 16 nM).MK-6892 evokes a potent internalization of GPR109A in U2OS β-arrestin2-RrGFP cells.MK-6892 shows an EC50 value of 74 nM on calcium mobilization assay.

After 15 min of 100 mg/kg dosing of MK-6892 to fed WT or NA receptor null mice, the blood levels of MK-6892 at 15 min are 229 μM (~950-fold greater than the in vitro EC50 determined in mouse NA receptor GTPγS assay, which is 240 nM) in WT mice and 148 μM (~620-fold greater than the in vitro EC50) in NA receptor null mice. MK-6892 effectively suppresses plasma FFA in the WT but not in the NA receptor null animals, indicating that the FFA reduction of MK-6892 is NA receptor-dependent.

MK-6892 effectively suppresses plasma FFA in the WT but not in the NA receptor null animals, indicating that the FFA reduction of MK-6892 is NA receptor-dependent. MK-6892 is selected for the studies because of its good PK and activity profiles in these two species (EC50=4.6 μM in the GTPγS assay for the rat NA receptor and 1.3 μM in the GTPγS assay for the dog NA receptor). Despite the significant weaker activity of MK-6892 in rat and dog with respect to that in human, MK-6892 shows good activity in reducing FFA in rat and dog models.
