Background:

MK-4074 is a liver-specific inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM.

MK-4074 strongly inhibits both ACC1 and ACC2 with IC50 values of approximately 3 nM. MK-4074 is highly liver specific because it is a substrate of organic anion transport protein (OATP) transporters that are present only in hepatocytes, and excretion of MK-4074 from hepatocytes into bile is dependent on the MRP2 efflux transporter[1].

In male KKAy mice, a mouse model of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver, a single oral dose of MK-4074 (0.3-3 mg/kg) significantly decreases DNL in a dose-dependent manner with an ID50 value of 0.9 mg/kg 1 hr post-administration. In a time course study, MK-4074 orally at 30 mg/kg reduces hepatic DNL by 83%, 70%, and 51% at 4, 8, and 12 hr post-dose, respectively. Single oral doses of MK-4074 at 30 and 100 mg/kg significantly increases plasma total ketones, a surrogate biomarker for hepatic FAO, by 1.5-fold to 3-fold for up to 8 hr[1].
