Product Description

MK-5046 (MK5046) is a novel and potent Bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3) agonist with anti-obesity effect. It has a strong affinity (mouse Ki = 1.6 nM, human Ki = 25 nM) for BRS-3. An orphan G protein-coupled receptor involved in the control of energy homeostasis is called bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3). Single oral doses of MK-5046 increased the metabolic rate during fasting and inhibited food intake for two hours and overnight in wild-type mice, but not in Brs3 knockout mice. MK-5046, administered at a dose of 25 mg kg(-1) · day(-1) for 14 days, caused a 9% reduction in body weight in diet-induced obese mice when compared to vehicle-dosed controls. 50% brain receptor occupancy was attained in mice at 0.34 ± 0.23 μM for plasma concentration. Effects on metabolic rate, as opposed to food intake, appear to be the main mechanism through which MK-5046 reduces weight when used chronically. In rats, the substance also caused slight increases in blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature in addition to effectively lowering body weight. These subsequent effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature were only momentary and became less pronounced with continued dosage. The first BRS-3 agonist with features appropriate for usage in larger mammals is MK-5046. Treatment with MK-5046 resulted in statistically significant and long-lasting weight loss in dogs. Initially, there were increases in body temperature and heart rate, but these decreased as the dosage was continued. Our findings support BRS-3 agonism as a novel strategy for treating obesity and show that MK-5046 has antiobesity efficacy in both rats and dogs.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
human BRS3 ( IC50 = 28 nM ); mouse BRS3 ( IC50 = 5.4 nM ); rat BRS3 ( IC50 = 1.2 nM ); dog BRS3 ( IC50 = 6.5 nM ); rhesus BRS3 ( IC50 = 50 nM )
ln Vitro
The IC50 values of MK-5046 against human, mouse, mouse, dog and macaque BRS3 are 28, 5.4, 1.2, 6.5 and 50 nM respectively [2]. The Ki values of MK-5046 for human, mouse, rat, dog and macaque BRS3 are 3.4, 1.6, 0.6, 9.9 and 2.4 nM respectively[2]. The EC50 values of MK-5046 against human, mouse, monkey, dog and macaque BRS3 are 14, 21, 2.2, 1.6 and 6.9 respectively. MK-5046 inhibits the rabbit calcium channel diltiazem (DLZ) site with an IC50 value of 1.9 μM[2].
ln Vivo
MK-5046 (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg; pathway, once) inhibits channel opening and increases resting metabolic rate (MR) in response to diet-induced response (DIO) and diet [1]. 5, 25 and 50 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection once daily for 14 days) significantly reduced body weight and food intake in DIO mice [1]. Animal model: Male C57BL/6N mice, high-fat diet is the diet-induced obesity (DIO) model [1] Dosage: 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg Dosing method: Orally; 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg, once Results: DIO mice dose-dependently suppressed food intake at 2 hours and overnight. But it had no effect on Brs3 knockout mice.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
