    Description

    Mavacamten (MYK461) is an orally active modulator of cardiac myosin, with IC50s of 490, 711 nM for bovine cardiac and human cardiac, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 490 nM (bovine cardiac), 711 nM (human cardiac)[1].

    In Vitro

    Mavacamten is found to have an IC50 value of 490 nM in the bovine system, 711 nM in the human system, and 2140 nM in the rabbit system, indicating selectivity of >4-fold for cardiac myosin[1].

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

    In Vivo

    Treatment with Mavacamten reduces FS from 52±3% to 38±7%. Treatment with Mavacamten reduces FS from 81±7% to 60±13%, corresponding to a relative reduction of 25%. Across all measurements there is a linear correlation between FS and Mavacamten plasma concentrations with each 100 ng/mL increase in Mavacamten concentration lowering FS by 4.9%[2]. Mavacamten reduces contractility by decreasing the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the cardiac myosin heavy chain. Chronic administration of Mavacamten suppresses the development of ventricular hypertrophy, cardiomyocyte disarray, and myocardial fibrosis and attenuates hypertrophic and profibrotic gene expression in mice harboring heterozygous human mutations in the myosin heavy chain[3].

    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 (9.15 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.61 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cats[2]
    Five cats are selected for study. At the completion of imaging, a tenminute intravenous infusion of Mavacamten (MYK-461 (n=5)) at 0.3 mg/kg/hr IV is started. Focused echocardiography is performed after five minutes. After ten minutes, the Mavacamten infusion rate is lowered to 0.12 mg/kg/hr IV, a blood sample is drawn and an echocardiogram performed. If ventricular function remains hypercontractile or within normal limits by visual inspection, another blood sample is obtained and the Mavacamten infusion rate is increased to 0.36 mg/kg/hr IV for ten minutes. Focused echocardiography is performed after five minutes. After ten minutes, the Mavacamten infusion rate is lowered to 0.15 mg/kg/hr IV, a blood sample is drawn and an echocardiogram performed[2].

    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.
