Biological Activity

Description MK-8719 is a selective and potent small molecule inhibitor of the O-GlcNAcase (OGA) enzyme with ki of 7.9nM for hOGA.
Targets
hOGA [1]
(Cell-free assay)
7.9nM(Ki)
In vitro

In vitro, MK-8719 is a potent inhibitor of the human OGA enzyme with comparable activity against the corresponding enzymes from mouse, rat, and dog.[2]

In vivo

In vivo, oral administration of MK-8719 elevates brain and peripheral blood mononuclear cell O-GlcNAc levels in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, positron emission tomography imaging studies demonstrate robust target engagement of MK-8719 in the brains of rats and rTg4510 mice. In the rTg4510 mouse model of human tauopathy, MK-8719 significantly increases brain O-GlcNAc levels and reduces pathologic tau. The reduction in tau pathology in rTg4510 mice is accompanied by attenuation of brain atrophy, including reduction of forebrain volume loss as revealed by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging analysis.[2]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[2]

  • Cell lines

    PC-12 cells

  • Concentrations

    up to 1 mM

  • Incubation Time

    24 h

  • Method

    Rat PC-12 cells are plated in 96-well plates with approximately 10,000 cells/well. Compounds to be tested (including MK-8719) are dissolved in DMSO, either 2- or 10-mM stock solution, and then diluted with DMSO and water in a two-step process using a Tecan workstation. Cells are treated with diluted compounds for 24 hours to reach a final concentration of inhibitor desired to measure a concentration-dependent response, typically, 10 3-fold dilution steps, starting at 10 mM.

Animal Study:

[2]

  • Animal Models

    rTg4510 mice, Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats

  • Dosages

    0.1 to 100 mg/kg

  • Administration

    Oral gavage
