MK-4827

Kinase assays

The reaction was conducted as for PARP-1 and PAPP-2 and included 0.3 nM of PARP-2, 4.4 x 105 DPM of [3H]-NAD and 7.5 uM NAD.

Cell lines

MDA-MB-436 and CAPAN-1 cell lines, human prostate epithelial (PREC) cells, Human mammary epithelial (HMEC) cells

Preparation method

Soluble in DMSO. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

0-20000 nM

Applications

In MDA-MB-436 cells carrying BRCA-1 mutations, MK-4827 displayed CC50 = 18 nM, while in CAPAN-1 cells with BRCA-2 mutant, MK-4827 displayed CC50 = 90 nM. In contrast, normal human prostate and mammary epithelial cells were resistant to MK-4827, displaying antiproliferative effects in the micromolar range, thereby demonstrating the very high selective cytotoxicity from these PARP inhibitors in BRCA-1 and -2 mutant cancer cells compared to surrounding tissue.

Animal models

Female nude mice (Ncr Nu/Nu) xenograft model

Dosage form

25 mg/kg given twice daily or 50 mg/kg MK-4827 given once daily, oral

Application

The in vivo efficacy of MK-4827 was demonstrated in a BRCA-1 mutant MDA-MB-436 xenograft mode. When tumors reached an average volume of 150 mm3, mice were treated with MK-4827, dosing orally at either 100 mg/kg q.d. or 50 mg/kg b.i.d. Tumor regression was observed with both dosing regimes, and both were well tolerated, with no mortality. Less than 10% body weight loss was seen during the experiment.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
