Description

MK-0354 is a GPR109a (Niacin receptor 1) agonist, originated by Arena Pharmaceuticals. In phase II of clinical trials against dyslipidemia treatment with MK-0354 failed to produce changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or triglycerides.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
In a phase II study MK-0354 was administred daily at dose 2.5g for 4 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Equilibrium binding of [3H]nicotinic acid was done with membranes (30 μg/assay) from CHO-K1 cells, transfected with GPR109a, and test compound diluted in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 1 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% CHAPS) in a total volume of 200 uL. After 4 h at room temperature, reactions were filtered through Packard Unifilter GF/C plates using a Packard Harvester and washed eight times with 200 μl of ice-cold binding buffer. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 250 μM unlabeled nicotinic acid. Competitive binding assays were performed in the presence of 50 nM [3H]nicotinic acid.
