MK-0159 is a CD38 enzymatic inhibitor. Mice treated with MK-0159 show strong protection from myocardial damage upon cardiac I/R injury compared to those treated with NAD+ precursors (nicotinamide riboside) or another CD38 inhibitor. | [Uses]
MK-0159 is an orally active, potent and selective CD38 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 22, 3, and 70 nM for human, mouse and rat CD38, respectively. MK-0159 also shows good microsomal stability for human and rodent liver microsomes. MK-0159 increases NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and reduces ADPR (adenosine diphosphate ribose) in whole blood and heart[1]. | [in vivo]
MK-0159 (3-30 mg/kg, p.o., a single dose) increases systemic NAD+ and decreases ADPR levels (the product and substrate of CD38 enzymatic activity) in blood and heart of mice[1].
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces infarct size in cardiac I/R injury mice[2].
MK-0159 (30 mg/kg, oral gavage, twice a day for 9 days) reverses mitochondrial defect, restores CD8+ T cell function and inhibits virally induced organ inflammation in BXD2 lupus-prone mice with LCMV infection[2].
| Animal Model: | Cardiac I/R injury mice[1] | | Dosage: | 30 mg/kg | | Administration: | p.o. | | Result: | Reduced infarct size, and the combination of MK-0159 and NAD+ precursor significantly reduced the infarct size compared to MK-0159 alone.
Increased whole heart NAD+ levels and decreased ADPR in the heart.
