Product Description
MRK-560 is an orally bioavailable, BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeable/penetrable γ-Secretase inhibitor that can effectively reduce Aβ peptides in rat brain and cerebrospinal fluid. MRK-560 can hinder the mutation process of NOTCH1 by selectively inhibiting PSEN1. MRK-560 may be utilized in research into Alzheimer's disease (AD) and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
MRK-560 (CAS 677772-84-8) is a potent, orally bioavailable, and brain-penetrant γ-secretase inhibitor. It selectively inhibits proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) over the Notch pathway. It targets presenilin-1-containing complexes while sparing presenilin-2. The molecular formula is C₁₉H₁₇ClF₅NO₄S₂ with a molecular weight of 517.92 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of MRK-560 is γ-secretase, specifically presenilin-1 (PSEN1)-containing complexes. It is a potent and selective γ-secretase inhibitor. MRK-560 effectively blocks amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide formation, making it a valuable tool for Alzheimer's disease research. It inhibits γ-secretase with an IC₅₀ of 0.65 nM in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.
ln Vitro
In human T-ALL cell lines, MRK-560 (30, 100, 300, and 1000 nM; 15 days) inhibits mutant NOTCH1 receptor signaling [1].
In vitro, MRK-560 potently inhibits γ-secretase activity with an IC₅₀ of 0.65 nM in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. It selectively inhibits APP cleavage over the Notch pathway. This selectivity is important for reducing potential Notch-related toxicities.
ln Vivo
In the T-ALL model, MRK-560 (15.54 mg/kg; SC; once daily for 14 days) has potent anti-leukemia actions [1]. In a dose-dependent way, MRK-560 (1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg; oral; single dose) exhibits good blood-brain barrier permeability in rats [2]. The oral single-dose medication MRK-560 (1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg) reduces the brain's and cerebrospinal fluid's ability to produce Aβ [2]. With a Tmax of 12 hours, MRK-560 (1 mg/kg; oral; single dosage) exhibits high bioavailability of 70 to 90% [2]. A once-daily dosage of MRK-560 (1 mg/kg; IV; single dose) is appropriate due to its low plasma clearance and longer half-life than 15 hours [2].
In vivo, MRK-560 markedly reduces Aβ peptide levels in the brain and CSF of rats. It is orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant. It attenuates plaque deposition in animal models. The compound confirms the utility of the rat for assessing the effects of γ-secretase inhibitors on CNS Aβ levels.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme assays, MRK-560 is tested against γ-secretase. Standard protocols involve incubating the enzyme with a substrate (e.g., APP-derived peptide) and varying concentrations of MRK-560 (0.01-100 nM). Aβ production is measured by ELISA or immunodetection. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: HPB-ALL, DND-41 and Jurkat Cell
Tested Concentrations: 30, 100, 300, 1000 nM
Incubation Duration: 15 days
Experimental Results: diminished NICD1 production in cells and resulted in dose-dependent reduction of HPB -ALL and DND-41 proliferation, whose survival depends on NOTCH signaling.
Cell-based assays for MRK-560 involve treating cells (e.g., SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells) with the compound at concentrations of 0.01-100 nM for 24-48 hours. Aβ production is measured by ELISA. Selectivity for APP over Notch is assessed by measuring Notch signaling or Notch intracellular domain levels.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Tg(HLA-DRB1)31Dmz/Szj(NSG) mouse (T-ALL (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) model) [1].
Doses: 15.54 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection; one time/day for 14 days.
Experimental Results: A strong antileukemic effect was produced and the median survival of vehicle-treated mice was increased from 18 to 30 days.
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat (250-300 g) [2].
Doses: 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral; single dose (experiment conducted after 8 hrs (hrs (hours)))
Experimental Results: Plasma and brain concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner. Brain and cerebrospinal fluid Aβ levels were diminished (dose-dependently), with an essentially complete inhibition of the production of both peptides observed at the 100 mg/kg dose.
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat (250-300 g) [2].
Doses: 1 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)and oral; single.
Experimental Results: Tmax was reached 12 hrs (hrs (hours)) after oral administration, and the bioavailability was 70 to 90%. Plasma clearance was shown to be less tha
In vivo studies with MRK-560 are conducted in rodent models. Typical protocols involve oral administration at doses of 1-10 mg/kg. Aβ levels in brain and CSF are measured by ELISA. Plaque deposition is assessed in transgenic Alzheimer's models. Efficacy is determined by reduction in Aβ levels and plaque burden.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MRK-560 is orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant. It markedly reduces Aβ peptide in the brain and CSF of rats. Detailed PK parameters including oral bioavailability, half-life, and brain penetration are available from research publications.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for MRK-560 are available from preclinical studies. The compound is well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. The selective inhibition of PSEN1 over PSEN2 may reduce toxicity associated with pan-γ-secretase inhibitors. Comprehensive toxicology data are available from research publications.
