MK-886 sodium salt
Based on 14 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MK-886 (L 663536) sodium salt is a potent, cell-permeable and orally active FLAP (IC50 of 30 nM) and leukotriene biosynthesis (IC50s of 3 nM and 1.1 μM in intact leukocytes and human whole blood, respectively) inhibitor. MK-886 sodium salt is also a non-competitive PPARα antagonist and can induce apoptosis.

Biological Activity
IC50: 30 nM (FLAP)[3]
IC50: 3 nM (Leukotriene biosynthesis in intact leukocytes) and 1.1 μM (Leukotriene biosynthesis in human whole blood)[2]
PPARα[1]
MK-886 sodium salt (0.5-2 μM; 15?hours; primary keratinocytes) treatment reduces keratin-1 expression in a culture of mouse primary keratinocytes[1].
?
Using a transient transfection system in monkey kidney fibroblast CV-1 cells, mouse keratinocyte 308 cells and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, 10 μM MK-886 sodium salt is able to inhibit Wy-14643 activation of PPARα by ~80%. MK-886 sodium salt also decreases PPARα activation by fatty acids in the stable transfection system[1].
?
Although Jurkat cells express all PPAR isoforms, various PPARα and PPARγ agonists are unable to prevent MK-886 sodium salt-induced apoptosis[1].
