MK-5046 is a potent, selective, and orally active Bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BRS-3) agonist, with IC50 and EC50 values of 27nM and 25nM, respectively, for human BRS-3[1]. BRS-3 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays an important role in regulating energy homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and insulin secretion[2]. MK-5046 is commonly used in the treatment of obesity and in studies of BRS-3-related signaling pathways[3,4].
In vitro, treatment of BRS-3-H1299 cells with MK-5046 (0.01, 0.1, 1μM) for 5min dose-dependently and significantly increased HER2 tyrosine phosphorylation (PY1248-HER2) and ERK phosphorylation (P-ERK)[5]. Treatment of serum-starved H1299-BRS3 cells with MK-5046 (10nM) for 24h significantly enhanced cell migration, an effect that could be reversed by the BRS-3 antagonist Bantag-1 or the Hippo pathway inhibitor Verteporfin[6].
In vivo, subcutaneous administration of MK-5046 (5, 25, 50mg/kg/day) for 14 days in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice resulted in dose-dependent body weight reduction, with a maximum weight loss of approximately 9%[7]. Intravenous administration of MK-5046 (1mg/kg) in anesthetized wild-type mice significantly increased interscapular brown adipose tissue temperature and core body temperature[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Starved H1299-BRS3 cells |
Preparation Method | 5 × 104 starved cells were plated into the top chamber with FBS-free medium, while a medium containing 10% FBS and drugs was added to the external chamber as a chemoattractant. The starved cells were treated with MK-5046 (10nM), or MK-5046 and Bantag-1, or MK-5046 and Verteporfin for 24h. After incubation, 0.5% crystal violet was used to stain the cells. The upper layer cells that did not pass through the membrane were erased, while the cells that passed through were counted under an Echo Revolve Upside-Down integrated fluorescence microscope. |
Reaction Conditions | 10nM; 24h |
Applications | Treatment with MK-5046 (10nM) significantly enhanced cell migration, but this effect could be reversed by the Bantag-1 or Hippo pathway inhibitor Verteporfin. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice |
Preparation Method | DIO mice received continuous subcutaneous infusion of MK-5046 at doses of 5, 25, or 50mg/kg/day for 14 days. Body weight was monitored daily throughout the study period. |
Dosage form | 5, 25, 50mg/kg/day; 14 days; s.c. |
Applications | Treatment with MK-5046 (5, 25, 50mg/kg/day) induced a dose-dependent decrease in body weight in mice, with a maximum weight loss of approximately 9%. |
