MK-0159
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MK-0159 is an orally active, potent and selective CD38 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 22, 3, and 70 nM for human, mouse and rat CD38, respectively. MK-0159 also shows good microsomal stability for human and rodent liver microsomes. MK-0159 increases NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and reduces ADPR (adenosine diphosphate ribose) in whole blood and heart.

Biological Activity
IC50: 3 nM (mouse CD38), 22 ± 5 nM (hCD38), 70 nM (rat CD38)[1]
MK-0159 (compound 37) (0-50 μM, 24 h) increases both extracellular and intracellular NAD+ in A549 cells and HMVEC cells[1].
MK-0159 (20 μM, overnight) reduces the number of cells with damaged mitochondria in CD38-overexpressing CD8+ T cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces infarct size in cardiac I/R injury mice[2].
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, oral gavage, twice a day for 9 days) reverses mitochondrial defect, restores CD8+ T cell function and inhibits virally induced organ inflammation in BXD2 lupus-prone mice with LCMV infection[2].

Animal Model:Cardiac I/R injury mice[1]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.
-
Result:Reduced infarct size, and the combination of MK-0159 and NAD+ precursor significantly reduced the infarct size compared to MK-0159 alone.
Increased whole heart NAD+ levels and decreased ADPR in the heart.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (249.69 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture and light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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 (6.24 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 (6.24 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.
