Description

MK-5046 is an orally active, potent, selective agonist of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3). In pharmacological testing using diet-induced obese mice, MK-5046 caused mechanism-based, dose-dependent reductions in food intake and body weight.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
In mouse model of obesity, MK-5046 (25 mg/kg/day by sc infusion) caused reductions in body weight (8-9% as compared to vehicle-dosed animals) thatwere sustained for 14 days with no evidence of tachyphylaxis.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Receptor binding was performed using membranes from CHO or HEK293 cells overexpressing the bombesine receptor. A 30 pM concentration of [125I]-[D-Tyr6,β-Ala11,Phe13,Nle14]-bombesin(6-14) (human assay) and 660 pM [3H]Bag-3 (rat and mouse assays) were used. For functional assays, agonist induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ was measured HEK293AEQ cells overexpressing BRS-3, using an aequorin bioluminescence assay.
