MK-5661
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.

Biological Activity
|
Nav1.8 4.3 nM (EC50) |
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].

Animal Model:Humanized rats[1]
-
Dosage:0.1 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg, 10.0 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; single dose
-
Result:Produced a dose-dependent reduction in capsaicin-induced flinch counts.
Reached unbound plasma concentrations of 0.28 nM (0.1 mg/kg), 1.0 nM (0.3 mg/kg), 8.0 nM (1.0 mg/kg), 28 nM (3.0 mg/kg), and 150 nM (10.0 mg/kg), corresponding to 0.07-, 0.2-, 2-, 7-, and 35-fold the human NaV1.8 EC50 (4.3 nM), respectively.
Showed a significant main effect of treatment via one-way ANOVA.
Demonstrated significant flinch reductions at 0.3 mg/kg and 1.0, 3.0, 10.0 mg/kg relative to vehicle.
