    Description

    MK-6892 is a potent, selective, and full agonist for the high affinity nicotinic acid (NA) receptor GPR109A. Ki and GTPγS EC50 of MK-6892 on the Human GPR109A is 4 nM and 16 nM, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    Ki: 4 nM (GPR109A)[1]
    EC50: 16 nM (GPR109A)[1]

    In Vitro

    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[2].

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

    In Vivo

    MK-6892 is orally administered to WT or nicotinic acid (NA) receptor null mice on the same C57Bl/6 genetic background. 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 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[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.47 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.47 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    • 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.
