MK 0893 is a potent and selective glucagon receptor (GCGR) antagonist with an IC50 value of 6.6 nM[1]. The mechanism of action of MK 0893 is to prevent GCGR activation by limiting the movement of transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) protein required for G protein signaling [2]. MK-0893 treats patients with type 2 diabetes and effectively reduces postprandial blood sugar, but it will cause an increase in liver transaminases and is not suitable for clinical development [3].
In vitro, MK 0893 (0-1000nM) treated human primary liver cells for 1 hour, inhibited the effect of glucagon and prevented it from inducing the production of cAMP, with an IC50 value of 563nM [4]. MK 0893 (0-400nM) treated INS-1 832/13 cells and inhibited the effects of glucagon and also inhibited the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) [5].
In vivo, oral administration of MK 0893 (3, 10 mg/kg) to hGCGR ob/ob mice reduced blood glucose levels by 32% and 39% at single doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg, respectively [1]. MK 0893 (3, 10 mg/kg) administered orally to WT and hGCGR mice did not significantly affect plasma cholesterol or plant sterol levels in WT mice, however, at a dose of 10 mg/kg, it significantly increased campesterol levels. In hGCGR mice, MK 0893 exhibited a dose-dependent increase in plasma sitosterol levels [4].
