MK-5661 is an orally potent NaV1.8 voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor with an EC50 of 4.3 nM. MK-5661 selectively inhibits peripheral nociceptive signaling mediators. MK-5661 reduces capsaicin-induced spontaneous nociceptive behaviors in humanized rats and attenuates capsaicin-induced skin flushing responses in rhesus monkeys. MK-5661 is applicable for pain-related research.

Description

MK-5661 is an orally potent NaV1.8 voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor with an EC50 of 4.3 nM. MK-5661 selectively inhibits peripheral nociceptive signaling mediators. MK-5661 reduces capsaicin-induced spontaneous nociceptive behaviors in humanized rats and attenuates capsaicin-induced skin flushing responses in rhesus monkeys. MK-5661 is applicable for pain-related research[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

Nav1.8

4.3 nM (EC50)

In Vitro

MK-5661 potently modulates human NaV1.8 channels stably expressed in HEK 293 cells with an EC50 of 4.3 nM and a VLE of 6.5[1].
MK-5661 is highly selective for human NaV1.8 channels, with IC50 values greater than 30 μM against human NaV1.2, NaV1.4, NaV1.5, NaV1.6, and NaV1.7 channels stably expressed in HEK-293 cells[1].

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.
