MK-8245 is a potent, selective liver-targeted stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) inhibitor with IC50 of 3, 3 and 1 nM for rat, mouse and human SCD1 enzyme, respectively.
MK-8245 is a potent, selective liver-targeted stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) inhibitor with IC50 of 3, 3 and 1 nM for rat, mouse and human SCD1 enzyme, respectively.
MK-8245 displays highly selective over the Δ-5 and Δ-6 desaturases (IC50>100 uM); has IC50 values of 68 nM and 1066 nM in Hum HepG2 and rat hepatocyte assays, demonstrates HepG2/hepatocyte ratio of 16:1.
MK-8245 exhibits preclinical antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic efficacy in vivo, demonstrats maximal liver SCD inhibition while sparing inhibition in the skin and eye tissues associated with adverse events.
