Histamine H3 receptor (no specific IC50/Ki values provided in this review; the compound is described as an H3 inverse agonist/antagonist) [1]
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MK-0249 (Compound 1) is a substrate for rat P-gp but not for human P-gp, and it exhibits very good hepatic clearance values (CLh e 11 mL/min/kg)[1]. MK-0249 exhibits a strong affinity for binding human, rat, and rhesus H3 receptors, as evidenced by its respective Ki values of 6.8 ± 1.3 nM, 33 ± 3 nM, and 4.3 ± 1.2 nM[1]. High intrinsic activity is displayed by MK-0249[1].
|
| ln Vivo |
The rat brain's histamine levels are raised by MK-0249 (Compound 1) (0-30 mg/kg; po; once) in a dose-dependent way[1]. In comparison to mdr1a (+/+) mice, mdr1a (-/-) mice exhibit significantly greater brain penetrability and a lower plasma Occ90 value when exposed to MK-0249 (10 mg/kg; po; once)[1]. In rodents, P-gp mediated efflux greatly limits MK-0249, whereas in humans, this efflux should be very minor or nonexistent[1]. MK-0249 exhibits rat brain permeability.
In a phase 2 clinical trial, MK-0249 at 10 mg daily for 4 weeks failed to improve cognitive performance in schizophrenic patients receiving standard antipsychotic medication, despite achieving >85% H3 receptor occupancy. [1] In a PET study in healthy volunteers, MK-0249 at doses of 2.5 to 50 mg achieved H3 receptor occupancy in the striatum up to 93% (at 50 mg). Alerting effects were observed starting at 67% occupancy (approximately 5 mg dose), with difficulty getting to sleep beginning at the 5 mg dose (72% occupancy). [1] In a phase 1 study, sleep disturbances (insomnia) were reported as adverse events after multiple dosing. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: SD rats[1]
Doses: 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral administration, once Experimental Results: demonstrated a statistically significant increase in tele-methylhistamine levels at 30 mg/kg. Animal/Disease Models: P-gp-deficient mdr1a (-/-) and wild type mdr1a (+/+) CF-1 mice[1] Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral administration, once Experimental Results: The brain-to-plasma ratio in mdr1a (-/-) mice (b/p = 14) was remarkably higher than that in SD rats (b/p = 1.1) and mdr1a (+/ +) mice (b/p = 0.8). Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats, male Beagle dogs, and male rhesus monkeys[1] Doses: 1 or 3 mg/kg Route of Administration: IV or PO (pharmacokinetic/PK Analysis) Experimental Results: pharmacokinetic/PK Parameters of 1 in Rats, Dogs, and Rhesus Monkeysa[1] No animal protocols described for MK-0249 in this review. Clinical protocols: In a phase 2 schizophrenia trial, patients received 10 mg once daily for 4 weeks. [1] In PET occupancy studies, healthy volunteers received single oral doses of MK-0249 at 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg. [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No detailed ADME/pharmacokinetic parameters provided for MK-0249 in this review. The half-life (t1/2) is listed as N.A. (not available) in Table 2. [1]
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Difficulty getting to sleep (insomnia) was reported as a common side effect, starting at the 5 mg dose (72% receptor occupancy). Sleep disturbances were noted in phase 1 multiple-dose studies. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
MK0249 has been used in trials to study the treatment of hypoventilation syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, paranoid schizophrenia, obstructive sleep apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
MK-0249 is one of several H3 receptor antagonists that advanced to clinical trials. Its chemical structure has not been disclosed. The compound was evaluated in phase 2 trials for adult ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. A phase 2 trial for daytime sleepiness in sleep apnea was terminated. It showed alerting effects at 67% receptor occupancy, but no efficacy in schizophrenic patients at 10 mg (achieving >85% occupancy). [1] |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

| Preparing Stock Solutions | 1 mg | 5 mg | 10 mg | |
| 1 mM | 2.3178 mL | 11.5888 mL | 23.1777 mL | |
| 5 mM | 0.4636 mL | 2.3178 mL | 4.6355 mL | |
| 10 mM | 0.2318 mL | 1.1589 mL | 2.3178 mL |
*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.
