Biological Activity

Description

MK-886 is an inhibitor of leukotriene biosynthesis, inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP). It is also a moderately potent PPARα antagonist.

Targets

5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) ^[1]	PPARα ^[3]	COX-1 ^[1]	COX-2 ^[1]
		8 μM	58 μM

In vitro
In vitro	MK-886, an inhibitor of the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP), potently suppresses leukotriene biosynthesis in intact cells and is frequently used to define a role of the 5-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.34) pathway in cellular or animal models of inflammation, allergy, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. MK-886 inhibits isolated COX-1 (IC50=8 μM) and blocks the formation of the COX-1-derived products 12(S)-hydroxy-5-cis-8,10-trans-heptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT) and thromboxane B2 in washed human platelets in response to collagen as well as from exogenous arachidonic acid (IC50=13–15 μM).Isolated COX-2 was less affected (IC50=58 μM), and in A549 cells, MK-886 (33 μM) failed to suppress COX-2-dependent 6-ketoprostaglandin (PG)F1α formation. MK-886 (10 μM) inhibits COX-1-mediated platelet aggregation induced by collagen or arachidonic acid whereas thrombin- or U-46619-induced (COX-independent) aggregation is not affected^[1].
Cell Research	Cell lines	A549 cells
	Concentrations	33 μM
	Incubation Time	15 min
	Method	IL-1β-stimulated A549 cells (5×10⁶/ml) are pre-incubated with MK-886 (MK, 33 μM), indomethacin (Indo, 10 μM), celecoxib (Cele, 5 μM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 15 min prior to the addition of 30 μM arachidonic acid. After 15 min at 37 °C, the amount of released 6-keto PGF1α was assessed by ELISA as described in the Materials and methods section.

In Vivo
In vivo	Repeated daily i.p. injections of MK-886 results in increased GluR1 phosphorylation in brain samples obtained from the prefrontal cortex. In contrast, a single injection of MK-886 does not alter cortical GluR1 phosphorylation^[2].
Animal Research	Animal Models	Male C57BL/6J mice
	Dosages	3 mg/kg
	Administration	i.p.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
