ProtocolIn VitroNeuropeptide Y (NPY) is a potent orexigenic neuropeptide, and antagonism of NPY Y1 and NPY Y5 receptors (NPYxR) is considered a potentially important anti-obesity drug target. MK-0557 has a Ki=1.3 nM at the human NPY5R, with similar affinities at rhesus, mouse, and rat NPY5R. MK-0557 has no significant binding to the human NPY1R, NPY2R, NPY4R, or mouse NPY6R at concentrations of 10 μM
In VivoMK-0557 antagonizes the effects of the NPY5R-selective agonist on body-weight gain and hyperphagia in C57BL/6J mice and significantly suppresses the body-weight gain in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. When lean mice on regular chow are switched to a medium high-fat diet (4.2 kcal/g) and treated with MK-0557 at 30 mg/kg PO QD, MK-0557 causes a 40% reduction in body-weight gain at day 35

Calculation Results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
