Verubecestat (MK-8931) is a β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1/2 (BACE1/2) inhibitor. Verubecestat does not significantly inhibit human CYP isoforms 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 (all IC50>40 μM), indicating that the compound is unlikely to be a perpetrator of CYP-mediated drug-drug interactions[1].
Verubecestat has IC50s of 2.1 nM, 0.7 nM, 4.4 nM for Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, sAPPβ in HEK293 APPSwe/Lon cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Verubecestat (1 mg/kg; IV) has a T1/2 of 4.9 hours, a CL of 21 mL/min/kg, a Vss of 7.5 L/kg for cynomolgus monkeys[1].
Verubecestat (1 mg/kg; IV) has a T1/2 of 9.7 hours, a CL of 4.3 mL/min/kg, a Vss of 2.7 L/kg for beagle dogs[1].
Verubecestat (30 mg/kg; orally; BID for 5 days) causes a modest (1.4-fold) induction of CYP 3A1 activity but does not significantly alter the expression of CYPs 1A1, 1A2, 2B, 3A2, or 4A in rats[1].
Verubecestat dose-dependently reduces CSF and cortex Aβ40 with ED50 values of 5 and 8 mg/kg, respectively, corresponding to unbound plasma EC50 values of 48 and 81 nM, respectively[1].
Verubecestat (3 and 10 mg/kg; orally) reduces profound, sustained of CSF Aβ40 levels and has peak effects on CSF Aβ lowering (72 and 81% reduction at 3 and 10 mg/kg, respectively) 12 h after dosing[1].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 35 mg/mL (85.49 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.11 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.11 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.
