Biological Activity
MK-0159 is an orally active inhibitor of CD38 that targets mouse CD38 (IC50 = 3 nM) alongside human and rat CD38 in cell-free assays. By blocking CD38 enzymatic activity, it elevates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels and reduces adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) in whole blood and cardiac tissue. Downstream, MK-0159 preserves cellular redox balance and protects against myocardial damage caused by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. [1]

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
