MRK-560 is an orally active, brain barrier-penetrating γ-Secretase inhibitor, can potently reduces Aβ peptide in rat brain and cerebrospinal fluid. MRK-560 also decreases mutant NOTCH1 processing by selectively inhibiting PSEN1. MRK-560 can be used in studies of Alzheimer's disease and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL).

Description

MRK-560 is an orally active, brain barrier-penetrating γ-Secretase inhibitor, can potently reduces Aβ peptide in rat brain and cerebrospinal fluid. MRK-560 also decreases mutant NOTCH1 processing by selectively inhibiting PSEN1. MRK-560 can be used in studies of Alzheimer's disease and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL)[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

PSEN1

 

In Vitro

MRK-560 (30, 100, 300, 1000 nM; 15days) blocks mutant NOTCH1 receptor signaling in human T-ALL cell lines[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: HPB-ALL, DND-41, and Jurkat cells
Concentration: 30, 100, 300, 1000 nM
Incubation Time: 15 days
Result: Reduced NICD1 generation in cells and resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of proliferation in HPB-ALL and DND-41, which depend on NOTCH signaling for their survival.
In Vivo

MRK-560 (15.54 mg/kg; S.C.; single daily for 14 days) shows strong antileukemic effects on T-ALL model[1].
MRK-560 (1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg; p.o.; single) shows good blood-brain barrier permeability in a dose-dependent manner in rats[2].

MRK-560 (1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg; p.o.; single) inhibits the production of Aβ levels in brain and cerebrospinal fluid[2].
MRK-560 (1 mg/kg; p.o.; single) shows a good bioavailability of 70 to 90%, and Tmax is 12 h[2].
MRK-560 (1 mg/kg; i.v.; single) is suitable for once-a-day dosing (with a low plasma clearance and a half-life of more than 15 h)[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Tg (HLA-DRB1) 31Dmz/Szj (NSG) mice (T-ALL (T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) model)[1].
Dosage: 15.54 mg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection; single daily for 14 days.
Result: Resulted in strong antileukemic effects and improved median survival to 30 days compared to 18 days in vehicle-treated mice.
Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g)[2].
Dosage: 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; single (experiment is performed 8 h later)
Result: Increased the plasma and brain concentrations in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced (dose-dependent) both brain and CSF Aβ levels, with essentially complete inhibition of the production of both peptides being observed at a dose of 100 mg/kg.
Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g)[2].
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenously and orally administration; single.
Result: Showed Tmax after the oral dose was 12 h,and bioavailability was 70 to 90%.
Revealed a low plasma clearance of less than 5 mL/min/kg with a volume of distribution of approximately 6 L/kg, which translated to a long half-life of more than 15 h.

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.83 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.83 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.

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.
