MK-571 (L-660711) is an orally active, potent and selective competitive leukotriene D4 (LTD4) receptor antagonist, with Ki values of 0.22 and 2.1 nM in guinea pig and human lung membranes, respectively. MK-571 is also a MRP4 and ABCC1 (MRP1) inhibitor. MK-571 inhibits constitutive and antigen-stimulated S1P (sphingosine-1-phosphate) release.

In Vitro

MK571 (15 μM, 1 h) markedly suppresses constitutive and Ag-stimulated S1P secretion from RBL-2H3 cells and mast cells, and inhibits Fluo-3 efflux[3].

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

Cell Viability Assay[3]

Cell Line: RBL-2H3 cells, human LAD2 mast cells
Concentration: 15 μM
Incubation Time: 1 h
Result: Inhibited S1P secretion by vector and SphK1 transfected RBL-2H3 cells, whereas it did not affect uptake and intracellular conversion of [3H]Sph to S1P. Inhibited Fluo-3 efflux, inhibited S1P export by LAD2 cells, and blocked Ag-stimulated release of S1P.
In Vivo

MK-571 (0-0.5 mg/kg, orally, once) produces dose-dependent inhibition of the duration of antigen-induced dyspnea in conscious sensitized rats treated with methysergide (3 μg/kg)[1].
MK-571 (0-1 mg/kg, orally, once) blocks LTD4- and Ascaris-induced bronchoconstriction in conscious squirrel monkeys[1].
MK-571 (0-25 mg/kg, orally, daily, for 2 more weeks) shows reversal of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH), and protects mice from hypoxic PH[2].

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

Animal Model: Hyperreactive rats (male and female, 200-400 g, pretreated intravenously with 3 μg/kg methysergide, 5 min before antigen chdlenge)[1]
Dosage: 0.5, 0.15, and 0.05 mg/kg
Administration: Orally, once, 1 or 4 h before challenge
Result: Produced dose-dependent inhibition of the duration of antigen-induced dyspnea, with ED50 values of 0.13 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.03-0.62) and 0.11 (95% CI, 0.009-1.47) mg/kg, respectively. MK-571 was even more active when administered orally as a suspension in 1% Methocel (4 h pretreatment), with an ED50 of 0.068 (95% CI, 0.83-0.14) mg/kg.
Animal Model: Csnscisus squirrel msnkeys[1]
Dosage: 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg/kg
Administration: Orally, once, 2 h prior to challenge with Ascaris antigen
Result: Produced significant inhibition of the bronchoconstriction at 0.5 mg/kg, produced significant inhibition of the increases in RL and decreases in Cdyn at 1 mg/kg.
Animal Model: FVB (Friend virus B-type) mice (Mrp4–/– and WT, 6 weeks old, exposed to chronic hypoxia (10% O2) in a ventilated chamber for 28 days)[2]
Dosage: 0, 5, and 25 mg/kg
Administration: Orally, daily, for 2 more weeks, maintain in hypoxic conditions
Result: Showed reversal of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH), and mice were protected from hypoxic PH. MK-571-treated mice displayed lower RVSP and Fulton index and a decrease in the medial thickening of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles.

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.
