Description

MK-4074 is a liver-specific inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 3 nM (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase)[1]

In Vitro

MK-4074 strongly inhibits both ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM. MK-4074 is highly liver specific because it is a substrate of organic anion transport protein (OATP) transporters that are present only in hepatocytes, and excretion of MK-4074 from hepatocytes into bile is dependent on the MRP2 efflux transporter[1].

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

In Vivo

In male KKAy mice, a mouse model of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver, a single oral dose of MK-4074 (0.3-3 mg/kg) significantly decreases DNL in a dose-dependent manner with an ID50 value of 0.9 mg/kg 1 hr post-administration. In a time course study, MK-4074 orally at 30 mg/kg reduces hepatic DNL by 83%, 70%, and 51% at 4, 8, and 12 hr post-dose, respectively. Single oral doses of MK-4074 at 30 and 100 mg/kg significantly increases plasma total ketones, a surrogate biomarker for hepatic FAO, by 1.5-fold to 3-fold for up to 8 hr[1].

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 (4.42 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Recombinant ACC protein is purified from FM3A or Sf9 cells expressing recombinant ACC by chelating chromatography or from liver by Softlink avidin resin chromatography. Purified ACC protein is incubated with MK-4074 in assay buffer containing 5 mM ATP, 250 mM acetyl-CoA, 4.1 mM NaHCO3, 0.086 mM NaH14CO3, 20 mM potassium citrate, 20 mM MgCl2, 2 mM DTT, 0.5 mg/mL BSA and 50 mM HEPES-Na (pH 7.5) for 40 min at 37°C[1].

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

Cell Assay
[1]

For cellular assays of DNL and FAO, cells are pre-incubated with MK-4074 for 1 hr. Then the cells are incubated for additional 1-3 hr with either 65-260 mM 14C-labeled acetate or 0.018 mM 3H-labeled palmitate for DNL or FAO assay, respectively. After incubation, intracellular 14C-labeled lipids and released 3H-labeled fatty acids are extracted and measured for DNL and FAO, respectively[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]

Studies are performed in male KKAy mice or C57BL/6J mice. KKAy mice are fed a chow diet while C57BL/6J mice are fed a high-fat diet (45% fat) for 3 weeks prior to study. Mice are treated for 7 days with vehicle (distilled water, 0.2 mL/mouse) before MK-4074 administration to acclimate mice to oral dosing. Animals are drug naive at the time of study. Mice are housed individually. Male KKAy mice (n=10-11/group) are administered a single oral dose of MK-4074 (0.3 to 3 mg/kg) prior to liver slice studies. Male KKAy mice (n=5/group) are administered a single oral dose of MK-4074 (3 to 30 mg/kg) prior to measurement of liver DNL rates. Male KKAy mice (n=8/group) are administered a single oral dose of MK-4074 (10 to 100 mg/kg) and plasma ketone bodies are measured at the indicated times. Male C57BL/6J mice (n=5, veh; n=10, MK-4074) are fed chow or a high-fat/high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet for 7 weeks and vehicle or MK-4074 is administered orally (10 or 30 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks prior to study[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.
