MK-0159 is an orally active, potent and selective CD38 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 22, 3, and 70 nM for human, mouse and rat CD38, respectively. MK-0159 also shows good microsomal stability for human and rodent liver microsomes. MK-0159 increases NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and reduces ADPR (adenosine diphosphate ribose) in whole blood and heart.

Description

MK-0159 is an orally active, potent and selective CD38 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 22, 3, and 70 nM for human, mouse and rat CD38, respectively. MK-0159 also shows good microsomal stability for human and rodent liver microsomes. MK-0159 increases NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and reduces ADPR (adenosine diphosphate ribose) in whole blood and heart[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 3 nM (mouse CD38), 22 ± 5 nM (hCD38), 70 nM (rat CD38)[1]
In Vitro

MK-0159 (compound 37) (0-50 μM, 24 h) increases both extracellular and intracellular NAD+ in A549 cells and HMVEC cells[1].
MK-0159 (20 μM, overnight) reduces the number of cells with damaged mitochondria in CD38-overexpressing CD8+ T cells[2].

In Vivo

MK-0159 (3-30 mg/kg, p.o., a single dose) increases systemic NAD+ and decreases ADPR levels (the product and substrate of CD38 enzymatic activity) in blood and heart of mice[1].
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces infarct size in cardiac I/R injury mice[2].
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, oral gavage, twice a day for 9 days) reverses mitochondrial defect, restores CD8+ T cell function and inhibits virally induced organ inflammation in BXD2 lupus-prone mice with LCMV infection[2].

Animal Model: Cardiac I/R injury mice[1]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.
Result: Reduced infarct size, and the combination of MK-0159 and NAD+ precursor significantly reduced the infarct size compared to MK-0159 alone.
Increased whole heart NAD+ levels and decreased ADPR in the heart.

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 (6.24 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 (6.24 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.
