Product Description
MK-4074 is a novel, potent and liver-specific inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 and ACC2 which are enzymes that produce malonyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis, with IC50 values of 3 nM. MK-4074 administered to subjects with hepatic steatosis for 1 month lowered lipogenesis, increased ketones, and reduced liver triglycerides by 36%. Unexpectedly, MK-4074 increased plasma triglycerides by 200%. To further investigate, mice that lack ACC1 and ACC2 in hepatocytes (ACC dLKO) were generated. Deletion of ACCs decreased polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations in liver due to reduced malonyl-CoA, which is required for elongation of essential fatty acids. PUFA deficiency induced SREBP-1c, which increased GPAT1 expression and VLDL secretion. PUFA supplementation or siRNA-mediated knockdown of GPAT1 normalized plasma triglycerides. Thus, inhibiting lipogenesis in humans reduced hepatic steatosis, but inhibiting ACC resulted in hypertriglyceridemia due to activation of SREBP-1c and increased VLDL secretion.
MK-4074 (CAS# 1039758-22-9) is a liver-specific inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM. It has a molecular formula of C33H31N3O6 and a molecular weight of 565.62. ACC is a key enzyme regulating fatty acid synthesis and oxidation. MK-4074 is a potent and selective inhibitor that blocks ACC activity to reduce fatty acid synthesis in the liver. The compound's chemical name is 5-[1'-(1-cyclopropyl-4-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrospiro[1-benzopyran-2,4'-piperidin]-6-yl]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MK-4074 targets acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) 1 and 2, enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the first committed step in fatty acid synthesis. ACC1 is primarily expressed in lipogenic tissues such as liver and adipose tissue, while ACC2 is expressed in oxidative tissues such as muscle and heart. By inhibiting both ACC1 and ACC2, MK-4074 reduces the production of malonyl-CoA, thereby decreasing fatty acid synthesis and increasing fatty acid oxidation. The compound has IC50 values of approximately 3 nM for both ACC1 and ACC2.
ln Vitro
MK-4074 has an IC50 value of about 3 nM and substantially inhibits ACC1 and ACC2. Because MK-4074 is a substrate of the organic transporter protein (OATP) transporter, which is exclusive to hepatocytes, it is heavily attached to Manhattan. However, the MRP2 efflux transporter is necessary for the excretion of MK-4074 from hepatocytes into bile [1].
In vitro, MK-4074 demonstrates potent inhibition of both ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM. The compound's liver-specific targeting suggests that it preferentially accumulates in the liver, reducing systemic exposure and potential off-target effects. As an ACC inhibitor, MK-4074 reduces fatty acid synthesis in hepatocytes. Specific cellular assay data are not detailed in the available sources beyond its characterization as a potent and liver-specific ACC inhibitor.
ln Vivo
MK-4074 was administered as a single dosage in KKAy mice, a mouse model of transplantation, 2-diabetes, and fatty liver disease. The dose-dependent reduction of DNL was seen with an ID50 of one hour post-dose, and a value of 0.9 mg/kg. 30 mg/kg of MK-4074 decreased epidermal DNL by 83%, 70%, and 51% at 4, 8, and 12 hours after the experiment, respectively, in a prior time course investigation. For a maximum of eight hours, single doses of MK-4074 at 30 and 100 mg/kg markedly raised antibiotic total ketones, a surrogate biomarker for FAO, by 1.5 to 3 times [1].
Specific in vivo activity data for MK-4074 are not detailed in the available sources. As a liver-specific ACC inhibitor, the compound is expected to reduce hepatic fatty acid synthesis and improve metabolic parameters such as hepatic steatosis and dyslipidemia in vivo. The compound's liver-specific targeting suggests it may have a favorable safety profile by minimizing systemic exposure. However, specific animal model studies have not been described in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
The ACC inhibition assay for MK-4074 typically involves incubating the compound with recombinant human ACC1 or ACC2 enzyme in the presence of ATP, acetyl-CoA, and bicarbonate. The reaction is carried out in an ACC assay buffer at 37°C for a specified time. The production of malonyl-CoA is measured using a coupled enzyme assay or by HPLC. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. The liver specificity can be assessed by measuring compound accumulation in liver versus other tissues.
Cell Assay
To evaluate the cellular activity of MK-4074, primary human hepatocytes or hepatoma cell lines (such as HepG2 or Huh7 cells) are cultured and treated with varying concentrations of MK-4074. Fatty acid synthesis is measured by incorporating [¹⁴C]-acetate or [³H]-acetate into lipids. Alternatively, the levels of malonyl-CoA and fatty acids can be measured using LC-MS/MS. The compound's effect on ACC activity can be assessed by measuring the phosphorylation status of ACC using Western blot analysis. Cell viability is monitored to ensure that observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
Specific in vivo animal experiment protocols for MK-4074 are not detailed in the available sources. As a liver-specific ACC inhibitor, the compound would typically be evaluated in animal models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or dyslipidemia. Rodents would be fed a high-fat diet to induce hepatic steatosis and then treated with MK-4074 orally at various doses. Hepatic triglyceride content, serum lipid levels, and fatty acid oxidation rates would be measured. However, specific protocols are not described in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for MK-4074 are not provided in the available sources. The compound is a small molecule with a molecular weight of 565.62 and a molecular formula of C33H31N3O6. Its liver-specific targeting suggests that it preferentially distributes to the liver, with limited systemic exposure. Standard pharmacokinetic studies would typically involve administering the compound to rodents and measuring plasma and liver concentrations over time using LC-MS/MS to determine key PK parameters.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for MK-4074 are not provided in the available sources. The compound's liver-specific targeting is designed to minimize systemic exposure and potential off-target toxicities. 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, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
