Product Description

MK886 (also known as L663536) is a novel and potent 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein inhibitor and a leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor (IC50=2.5 nM). MK-886 acts by blocking the 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), thus inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and may help in treating atherosclerosis. MK-886 inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 activity and suppresses platelet aggregation. MK-886 induces changes in cell cycle and increases apoptosis after photodynamic therapy with hypericin. MK-886 enhances tumour necrosis factor-alpha-induced differentiation and apoptosis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In primary mouse keratinocyte cultures, MK-886 (0.5-2 μM; 15 hours; primary keratinocytes) treatment decreases keratin-1 expression [1]. 10 μM MK-886 was found to be able to suppress the activation of PPARα by Wy-14643 by around 80% in monkey kidney fibroblast CV-1 cells, mouse keratinocyte 308 cells, and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells using a transient transfection technique. In stable transfection systems, MK-886 can also lessen the activation of PPARα by fatty acids [1]. MK-886-induced apoptosis cannot be stopped by PPARα and PPARγ agonists, despite the fact that Jurkat cells express all PPAR isoforms [1].
ln Vivo
Methysergide-pretreated inbred rats' antigen-induced dyspnea is successfully inhibited by MK-886 (L 663536; 5 mg/kg; oral; male Sprague-Dawley rats) treatment [2]. ?In rat pleurisy (ED50, 0.2 mg/kg po), inflammatory paw (ED50, 0.8 mg/kg), and rat biliary leukotriene excretion models, MK-886 (L 663536) reduces leukotriene excretion in vivo. Triene biosynthesis elicitation of antigen [2].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.30 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*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.

Calculator

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:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • 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
