MK-8245 is a potent and liver-selective inhibitor of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) with IC50 value of 1nM [1].

SCD1 represents a therapeutic target for the treatment of type II diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, and metabolic diseases. As an inhibitor of SCD1, MK-8245 shows potency in both the rat enzyme and hepatocyte assay. There are no significant differences in potencies between the rat, mouse, and human SCD1. MK-8245 is developed as a liver-targeting SCD inhibitor. It demonstrates a liver-targeted tissue distribution profile resulting from a substrate recognition by organic anionic transporter proteins (OATPs) [1, 2].

MK-8245 is effective at lowering glucose level. It can improve glucose clearance dose-dependently with ED50 value of 7mg/kg. In the chronic eDIO mouse study, MK-8245 shows prevention of body weight gain with the maximally efficacious dose of 20 mg/kg bid based on body weight and liver triglyceride reduction [1].
