| Targets |
MF-438 targets stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1). [1]
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MF-438 does not inhibit CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 at concentrations up to 30 μM. [1]
|
| ln Vivo |
In mouse models, MF-438 has an ED50 of 1 to 3 mg/kg [1].
In a mouse liver pharmacodynamic (PD) model measuring SCD inhibition, MF-438 exhibited an ED50 between 1 and 3 mg/kg. The assay involved oral administration of the compound followed by intravenous injection of a 14C-labeled stearic acid tracer; inhibition of SCD activity was determined by comparing the conversion of 14C-stearic acid to 14C-oleic acid in treated animals versus vehicle control. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Mouse liver PD assay: Mice on a high-carbohydrate diet received MF-438 orally (PO). One hour later, a 14C-labeled stearic acid tracer was administered intravenously (IV). After an additional 2 hours, mouse livers were harvested and analyzed for lipid content. SCD inhibition was assessed by the conversion of 14C-stearic acid to 14C-oleic acid. [1]
- Chronic dosing toxicity study: Diet-induced obese (DIO) mice were dosed once daily with MF-438 at 5 mg/kg. Adverse effects were observed after approximately one week. Similar adverse effects were observed in obese diabetic Zucker rats. The effects were reversible upon cessation of treatment. [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Oral bioavailability of MF-438 was 73% in mice and 38% in rats.
- Half-lives (t1/2) were 6.4 hours in mice and 6.0 hours in rats. - A circulating metabolite resulting from oxidation of the methyl group on the thiadiazole ring to the hydroxymethyl derivative (10g) was observed in both species at all time points, present at approximately 10% of the parent compound concentration. [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
MF-438 did not inhibit CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 at concentrations up to 30 μM.
- After approximately one week of once-daily dosing at 5 mg/kg in DIO mice, symptoms of alopecia and partial eye closure began to appear. The severity and time of onset were dose-dependent. - Similar adverse effects were observed in obese diabetic Zucker rats. - These adverse effects were reversible upon cessation of treatment. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
MF-438 is a potent SCD1 inhibitor developed as a tool compound for in vivo assessment of SCD inhibition in models of metabolic disorders such as obesity, fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. It was identified from a thiadiazole-pyridazine series, addressing metabolic stability and CYP inhibition issues of earlier amide- and imidazole-based inhibitors. The long half-lives in rodents make it suitable for once-daily dosing. [1]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
