MK-0773 (PF-05314882) is a novel and potent SARM (selective androgen receptor modulator) that has the potential to prevent and treat muscle wasting linked to cancer. It binds to AR with an IC50 of 6.6 nM. Androgen receptor (AR) ligands that promote anabolism with diminished effects in reproductive tissues are known as selective androgen receptor modulators, or SARMs. SARMs completely, partially, or even antagonistically activate the AR in a variety of experimental settings; however, it is unknown how these intricate actions translate into tissue selectivity.

ln Vitro |
MK-0773 binds to serum proteins as evidenced by its increased IC50 of 3.5 times when 3.5 percent rat serum and 13 times when 25% human serum are present. Using COS cells transfected with AR, the affinity of MK-0773 for AR is assessed across species. The IC50 values(0.50 nM for rats, 0.55 nM for dogs, 0.45 nM for rhesus, and 0.65 nM for humans) in all four species are remarkably similar[1].

ln Vivo |
In the OVX rat model, MK-0773 (6 and 80 mg/kg, s.c.) causes exposure-related stimulatory effects on cortical BFR and LBM. MK-0773 has less of an impact on the prostate and raises the weight of seminal vesicles at doses of 5, 15, and 80 mg/kg, s.c. In OVX rats, MK-0773's partial agonism and tissue selectivity do not result in different effects on lipid metabolism[1].
MK-0773 was dosed subcutaneously for 24 days in the OVX rat model (6 and 80 mg/kg) and produced plasma exposures over 24 h of 6.6 and 62 μm·h (Fig. 5b). This treatment produced exposure-related stimulatory effects on cortical BFR and LBM. The maximal anabolic effects of MK-0773 were equivalent to the SARM TFM-4AS-1 and ∼80% of 3 mg/kg DHT. Both MK-0773 and TFM-4AS-1 had <5% of the effect on uterus weight, and about 30–50% of the increase of sebaceous gland area produced by 3 mg/kg DHT. Next, ORX male rats were treated with daily subcutaneous dosing with MK-0773 (5, 15, and 80 mg/kg) for 17 days. The treatments produced plasma exposures over 24 h of 3, 10, and 56 μm·h. At the highest exposure tested, MK-0773 increased seminal vesicle weights by 12% that achieved by 3 mg/kg DHT (Fig. 5c and Table 2) and had similarly reduced effects on the prostate (data not shown). Taken together, MK-0773 exhibits the profile of an anabolic SARM with limited effects on the sebaceous glands and reproductive tracts of OVX and ORX rats[1]. Effect of MK-0773 and 2-FPA on Cholesterol In humans anabolic androgens reduce high density lipoprotein cholesterol by mechanisms that are not understood but have been proposed to reflect changes in lipid metabolism in adipose tissue. We, thus, asked if SARMs developed by our method would also reduce cholesterol levels in preclinical models. Treatments of OVX rats with MK-0773, 2-FPA, TFM-4AS-1, and DHT at anabolic doses for 24 days resulted in a similar decline in both total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein by 25–37% (Table 3). Thus, the partial agonism and tissue selectivity of MK-0773 does not translate into differential effects on lipid metabolism in OVX rats[1]. |

Binding and Transcription Assays[1]
Binding and transactivation assays used the human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-453, which expresses endogenous AR. ARBIND assays with 0.5 nm [3H]methyltrienolone (R1881, a potent AR agonist) were as previously described. TAMAR assays (transactivation modulation of AR) in 96-well plates used transient transfection of a modified mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) long terminal repeat promoter upstream of luciferase (MMTV-LUC). This MMTV has two direct repeat copies of a consensus glucocorticoid receptor response element between positions −88 and −190; these sequences are also recognized by AR. The VIRCON (virilization counterscreen) assay, which measures the AR N-terminal domain/ligand binding domain (LBD) interaction (N/C) of rhesus AR (rhAR), was evaluated by a mammalian two-hybrid assay in CV1 cells as detailed in Schmidt et al. The N/C interaction was evaluated as a ligand-mediated increase of luciferase reporter activity. The TRAF2 (transcriptional recruitment to AF2) assay, which measures the activation mediated by the AF-2 domain and potentiated by the full-length rat GRIP-1 coactivator, was measured by a mammalian two-hybrid assay in similar manner to the VIRCON assay. The Gal4-DNA binding domain was fused with the LBD of rhAR (pm-rhAR-LBD, amino acids 637–895), and the VP16AD was fused to the rat GRIP-1 (pcDNA3-GRIP-1 plasmid). The luciferase reporter plasmid with 5 copies of GAL-4 DBD binding sites (Gal4 × 5X90-luciferase) was transfected into COS-1 cells with the pm-rhAR-LBD and pcDNA3-GRIP-1 plasmids, and the AF-2 function was evaluated as a ligand-dependent dose response. |
Animal Protocol |
Rats: After an orchidectomy (ORX), 3–4-month-old, 250–300-g rats' prostate and seminal vesicles are examined. Following surgery, the animals receive daily subcutaneous injections of test compounds for a period of 17 days. The weight of the seminal vesicles (SVs) is compared to that of ORX rats that were treated with either vehicle or DHT as a positive control.
