Description

MK0343 (MRK-409) is an orally bioavailable GABAA receptor subtype-selective partial agonist. MK0343 is a non-sedating anxiolytic[1].

IC50 & Target

Ki: 0.22 nM (rGABAA α1), 0.4 nM (rGABAAα2) , 0.21 nM (rGABAAα3), 78 nM (rGABAAα4), 0.23 nM (rGABAAα5), 980 nM (rGABAAα6)[1]

In Vivo

MK0343 readily penetrates the brain in rats and occupies the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors, measured using an in vivo [3H]flumazenil binding assay, with an Occ50 of 2.2 mg/kg p.o. and a corresponding plasma EC50 of 115 ng/mL[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (approximately 250–300g) (pharmacokinetics)[1]
Dosage: 1, 2 or 3 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration
Result: Readily penetrated the brain in rats and occupies the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors, with an Occ50 of 2.2 mg/kg p.o. and a corresponding plasma EC50 of 115 ng/mL.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
