Mechanism of Action

Features	A potent hepatic SCD inhibitor, and does not affect SCD enzyme in skin and eye tissues like other systemically distributed SCD inhibitors.
Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	SCD1 (human) 1 nM SCD1 (rat) 3 nM SCD1 (mouse) 3 nM
In vitro	MK-8245, a phenoxy piperidine isoxazole derivative, has been identified as a potent and liver-specific SCD inhibitor. It contains a tetrazole acetic acid moiety, which is the key molecule for OATPs recognition and liver-targeting. This compound displays similar potencies against human, rat and mouse SCD1 with IC50 values of 1 nM for human SCD1 and 3 nM for both rat SCD1 and mouse SCD1. It exhibits significant SCD inhibition in the rat hepatocyte assay which contains functional, active OATPs with IC50 of 68 nM, while being only weakly active in the HepG2 cell assay which is devoid of active OATPs with IC50 of ~1 μM. It displays highly selective activity for the -5 and -6 desaturases (i.e., >100000 μM vs rat and human 5D and 6D as assessed in the HepG assay.
In vivo	Administration of MK-8245 at 10 mg/kg in mice exhibits a tissue distribution profile concentrated in the liver. It shows a liver-to-Harderian gland ratio of 21, suggesting a high degree of liver-targeting compared to a systemically distributed compound with a liver-to-Harderian gland ratio of 1.5. Oral dosing of this compound in mice, rats, dogs, and rhesus monkeys demonstrates that it is distributed mainly to the liver, with low exposure in tissues associated with potential adverse events. The liver-to-skin ratios are >30:1 in all four species. Administration of this chemical to eDIO mice before the glucose challenge improves glucose clearance in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 of 7 mg/kg.
