Product Description

MK-0812 (MK0812) is a novel, potent and selective small molecule CCR2 antagonist with potential anti-Inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity. MK0812 caused an increase in the CCR2 ligand CCL2 and a selective decrease in the frequency of peripheral blood monocytes. The therapeutic potential for targeting CXCR2/CXCR1 in human arthritides is highlighted by the significantly greater impact of CXCR2/CXCR1 antagonism in this model of arthritis compared to CCR2 antagonism. In the tissue and synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients, neutrophils and monocytes are highly prevalent. It was investigated how small molecule chemokine receptor antagonists, like MK-0812, might prevent these cells from migrating in arthritis caused by anti-collagen antibodies.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CCR2
ln Vitro
MK-0812 completely inhibits every MCP-1 mediated response in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 3.2 nM. This value is comparable to the potency (IC50 4.5 nM) reported for MK-0812's inhibition of 125I-MCP-1 binding on isolated monocytes. Specifically, the antagonist causes a monocyte forward scatter measurement below unstimulated or basal levels in addition to totally blocking the shape change response to exogenous MCP-1. MK-0812 added to rhesus blood also prevents the shape change of monocytes induced by MCP-1. MK0812 is a powerful and specific small molecule antagonist of CCR2[2].
ln Vivo
MK0812 is administered intravenously continuously in order to keep the drug's blood level steady[1]. The peripheral blood's Ly6G-Ly6Chi monocyte frequency is decreased upon administration of MK0812 at a dose of 30 mg/kg, p.o.; however, the frequency of circulating Ly6G+Ly6C+ neutrophils is unaffected. Furthermore, administration of MK0812 results in a dose-dependent decrease in Ly6Chi monocytes in circulation and an increase in the CCR2 ligand CCL2[2].
Enzyme Assay
Human whole blood is drawn into EDTA tubes and used right away—within an hour. Blood (200 µL) is pre-incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature with MK-0812 (0.1% final DMSO concentration) for antagonist treated samples. Next, 4 µL of chemokine or buffer and 20 µL of FITC conjugated anti-CD14 antibody are added to each sample and gently mixed. A 100 µL aliquot of the blood mixture is incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C. It is then promptly put on ice and gently fixed for 1 minute with 250 µL of an ice cold fixative (49 mL PBS, 1.0 mL 4% para-formaldehyde). In order to lyse red blood cells, 1.0 mL of an ice-cold lysis solution containing 0.15 M NH4Cl2, 10 mM sodium bicarbonate, and 1 mM EDTA is added. The mixture is then incubated on ice for 20 minutes. Following the complete lysis of red blood cells, 100 µL of 4% para-formaldehyde is added, and flow cytometry is used to analyze the samples for measurements of forward scatter[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: The mice used are 8–10 week old female BALB/c mice. 30 mg/kg oral gavage (p.o.) of SCH563705 or MK0812 in a 0.4% MC solution is used to administer the medication. Using flow cytometry, the frequency of CD11b+Ly6G-Ly6Chi neutrophils and CD11b+Ly6G+Ly6Chi monocytes is ascertained two hours later.

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 corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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.

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)
