Product Description
MM 54 (compound 5) is a competitive APJ antagonist (inhibitor) with IC50 of 93 nM. MM 54 works as a potent and specific inhibitor of apelin binding and APLNR activation.
MM 54 is a synthetic peptide compound recognized as a potent and specific competitive antagonist of the APJ receptor (also known as APLNR). It effectively blocks the binding of the endogenous ligand apelin and its receptor activation. MM 54 has been investigated for its anti-tumor activity, particularly in glioblastoma models, and it exhibits no obvious toxicity at the tested doses.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Targets the APJ receptor (APLNR, Apelin receptor) as a competitive antagonist. APJ is a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays a key role in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular function and energy metabolism. Blocking APJ signaling is a strategy for inhibiting tumor growth and angiogenesis.
ln Vitro
At a dosage of 10 µM, MM 54 blocks almost 95% of apelin binding to APLNR[2].
In vitro, at a concentration of 10 uM, MM 54 inhibits more than 95% of apelin binding to APLNR, demonstrating its high potency in blocking the ligand-receptor interaction. This inhibitory activity is characterized by an IC50 of 93 nM, making it a highly effective tool for studying APJ receptor biology in cell-based systems.
ln Vivo
In glioblastoma models, MM 54 (2 mg/kg, ip, biweekly for 4 weeks) exhibits anti-tumor action without evident toxicity[2].
In vivo, MM 54 (2 mg/kg) administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection bi-weekly for four weeks possesses anti-tumor activity in glioblastoma models, significantly inhibiting tumor growth with no obvious toxicity reported. It behaves as a potent and selective inhibitor of apelin binding and APLNR activation, validating its utility for in vivo pharmacology studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro radioligand binding assays for APJ are performed using membranes from cells overexpressing the human APJ receptor. The membranes are incubated with a fixed concentration of a radiolabeled apelin peptide (e.g., [¹2⁵I]apelin-13) and varying concentrations of MM 54 for a specific period. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration through glass fiber filters and counted using a scintillation counter to determine the IC50.
Cell Assay
Functional cell-based assays to assess APJ antagonism typically measure the inhibition of apelin-induced cAMP accumulation or calcium mobilization. HEK293 cells stably expressing human APJ are pre-loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye. The cells are pre-incubated with MM 54 before stimulation with a specific APJ agonist. The resulting change in fluorescence is measured using a plate reader to calculate the IC50 of the antagonist.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Tumour-bearing nude-mice[2].
Doses: 2 mg /kg.
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, bi-weekly for 4 weeks.
Experimental Results: decreased tumor progression (glioblastoma).
In the glioblastoma xenograft model, nude mice bearing subcutaneous tumors are treated with MM 54. The compound is administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection twice a week for four weeks. During the study, tumor volume is measured regularly with calipers. At the endpoint, tumors are excised and weighed. Body weight and overall health are also monitored to assess compound toxicity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for MM 54, such as half-life, oral bioavailability, and clearance, are not publicly available. As a synthetic peptide, its in vivo stability is likely limited, which is why it is commonly administered via intraperitoneal injection in animal studies rather than orally. Its molecular weight is 1737.16 g/mol, and it is formulated for injection as a solution.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data for MM 54 is publicly available. In the reported glioblastoma study, the compound showed "no obvious toxicity" at the administered dose of 2 mg/kg when given bi-weekly for four weeks, as indicated by general health monitoring in the animals. No further toxicological assessments are described in the literature.

Additional Infomation
MM 54 is a research-grade chemical tool, not an approved drug. It is a valuable tool for investigating the pathophysiological roles of the apelin/APJ system, particularly in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders. The compound is being studied for its potential to inhibit glioblastoma growth and could have broader applications in other APJ-expressing tumor types.
