Biological Activity
EC50: 240 nM (Recombinant human glucokinase, 2.5 mM glucose), 65 nM (Recombinant human glucokinase, 10 mM glucose)[1]
MK-0941 (1 μM) decreases the enzyme’s S0.5 for glucose from 6.9 to 1.4 mM[1].
MK-0941 (0.1-10 μM, 1.5 h) increases insulin secretion of isolated hepatocytes, dependent on MK-0941 and glucose concentrations[1].
MK-0941 (0.1-30 μM, 3 h) increases the phosphorylation by 18-fold with 30 μM concentration in hepatocytes[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
MK-0941 (2-60 mg/kg, p.o., twice daily for 14 d) retains the glucose-lowering efficacy in HFD mice[1].
MK-0941 (3-10 mg/kg, p.o., single dose) reduces blood glucose and increases total plasma cholesterol in the db/db diabetic HFD/STZ mice[1].
MK-0941 (0.3-3 mg/kg, p.o., single dose) significantly reduces the plasma glucose concentration in healthy dogs dose-dependently[1].

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: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (3.90 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (21.7 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: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (3.90 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (21.7 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.
