In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.68mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 13.6 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.15mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 83 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Verubecestat (MK-8931) is a potent and selective beta-secretase (also known as Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1) inhibitor.
Targets
BACE2 [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 BACE1 [1]
(Cell-free assay)
0.37 nM(Ki) 1.75 nM(Ki)
In vitro Verubecestat(MK-8931) effectively reduces Aβ40 in cells with a Ki of 7.8 nM and an IC50 of 13 nM[2].
In vivo Verubecestat(MK-8931) dramatically lowers CSF and cortex Aβ40 in both rats and cynomolgus monkeys following a single oral dose. Due to the 20 h half-life of MK-8931 it is ideal for once-a-day dosing[2].
