Product Description
AZD1979 is a novel and potent antagonist of Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHr1) with an IC50 of ~12 nM. AZD1979 affects both food intake and energy expenditure. AZD1979 also lowers body weight in a species expressing both MCH receptors holds promise for the use of MCH1 receptor antagonists for the treatment of human obesity. AZD1979 bound to MCH1 receptors in the CNS and dose-dependently reduced body weight in DIO mice leading to improved homeostasis model assessment-index of insulin sensitivity. AZD1979 did not affect food intake or body weight in Mchr1 KO mice demonstrating specificity for the MCH1 receptor mechanism. In DIO mice, initial AZD1979-mediated body weight loss was driven by decreased food intake, but an additional component of preserved energy expenditure was apparent in pair-feeding and indirect calorimetry studies. AZD1979 also dose-dependently reduced body weight in dogs.
AZD1979 (CAS# 1254035-84-1) is a potent melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHr1) antagonist originated by AstraZeneca. It has a molecular formula of C25H26N4O5 and a molecular weight of 462.51. AZD1979 was developed for the treatment of obesity and has excellent DMPK properties, giving good effects on weight loss in animal models. A phase I clinical trial in healthy volunteers was terminated in July 2014 after stopping criteria were reached.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AZD1979 targets the melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHr1), a G protein-coupled receptor involved in the regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis. MCH is an orexigenic neuropeptide that stimulates feeding behavior. By antagonizing MCHr1, AZD1979 blocks the orexigenic effects of MCH, leading to reduced food intake and body weight loss. The compound has an IC50 of approximately 12 nM for MCHr1.
ln Vitro
In vitro, AZD1979 demonstrates potent antagonistic activity against MCHr1 with an IC50 of approximately 12 nM. The compound's activity is characterized using receptor binding and functional assays. As an MCHr1 antagonist, it blocks MCH-induced signaling in cells expressing the receptor. The compound's excellent DMPK properties indicate favorable drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic characteristics in preclinical species. Specific cellular assay data are not detailed in the available sources.
ln Vivo
Reduced food intake was initially the primary cause of AZD1979-mediated weight loss in DIO mice, however pair-feeding and indirect calorimetry investigations revealed additional mechanism sustaining energy expenditure. In dogs, AZD1979 also decreases body weight in a dose-dependent manner [1].
In vivo, AZD1979 gives good effects on weight loss in animal models. Studies in mice and dogs demonstrated that AZD1979 effectively reduces body weight through MCHr1 antagonism. The compound's excellent DMPK properties support its in vivo efficacy. A phase I clinical trial (NCT02072993) was conducted in healthy male volunteers to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of AZD1979. The trial was terminated in July 2014 after stopping criteria were reached.
Enzyme Assay
The MCHr1 binding assay for AZD1979 typically involves incubating the compound with membrane preparations from cells expressing the human MCHr1 receptor and a radiolabeled MCH ligand. After incubation at room temperature for an appropriate period, bound and free ligands are separated by filtration, and the radioactivity is counted. The IC50 or Ki for displacement of the radioligand is calculated from the competition curve. Functional antagonism is assessed using a calcium mobilization assay or a cAMP assay in cells expressing MCHr1.
Cell Assay
To evaluate the cellular activity of AZD1979, cells expressing the human MCHr1 receptor (such as CHO or HEK293 cells) are seeded in 96-well plates and loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye. Cells are pre-incubated with varying concentrations of AZD1979 and then stimulated with MCH. The intracellular calcium flux is measured using a fluorescence plate reader. The IC50 for inhibition of MCH-induced calcium flux is calculated. Alternatively, the compound's ability to inhibit MCH-induced cAMP reduction can be measured using a cAMP assay kit.
Animal Protocol
The in vivo efficacy of AZD1979 is evaluated in mouse and dog models of obesity. In mouse studies, animals are fed a high-fat diet to induce obesity and then treated with AZD1979 orally at various doses. Body weight, food intake, and metabolic parameters are monitored over the treatment period. In dog studies, similar endpoints are assessed. The compound's effects on weight loss and metabolic improvements are measured. The specific dosing regimens and efficacy data are detailed in published studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
AZD1979 has excellent DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic) properties. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., Cmax, Tmax, half-life, AUC) are not detailed in the available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 462.51 and is soluble in DMSO. As a clinical-stage compound, its pharmacokinetic profile has likely been characterized in preclinical species and in humans. It is typically stored at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for AZD1979 are not provided in the available sources. However, the compound was evaluated in a phase I clinical trial in healthy volunteers to assess safety and tolerability. The trial was terminated after stopping criteria were reached, though specific safety findings are not detailed. As a research compound, it is intended for laboratory use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
