Description

MK-0557 is a highly selective, orally available neuropeptide Y5 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 1.6 nM.

IC50 & Target

NPY Y5 receptor

 

In Vitro

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a potent orexigenic neuropeptide, and antagonism of NPY Y1 and NPY Y5 receptors (NPYxR) is considered a potentially important anti-obesity drug target. MK-0557 has a Ki=1.3 nM at the human NPY5R, with similar affinities at rhesus, mouse, and rat NPY5R. MK-0557 has no significant binding to the human NPY1R, NPY2R, NPY4R, or mouse NPY6R at concentrations of 10 μM[2].

In Vivo

MK-0557 antagonizes the effects of the NPY5R-selective agonist on body-weight gain and hyperphagia in C57BL/6J mice and significantly suppresses the body-weight gain in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. When lean mice on regular chow are switched to a medium high-fat diet (4.2 kcal/g) and treated with MK-0557 at 30 mg/kg PO QD, MK-0557 causes a 40% reduction in body-weight gain at day 35[2].

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (12.30 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 5 mg/mL. If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
