MK-0354 is a partial agonist of GPR109a receptor, for hGPR109a/ mGPR109a with EC50 of 1.65/1.08 μM, showed no activation of GPR109b.IC50 value: 1.65 μM (EC50, for hGPR109a), 1.08 μM (EC50, for mGPR109a) Target: GPR109ain vitro: MK-0354 demonstrated clear and statistically significant partial agonism in the cAMP assays for both the mouse and human receptors with efficacy approximately 60-70% of that of either nicotinic acid or β-hydroxy butyrate, a putative physiologically relevant ligand for hGPR109a, in the same assay platform. In addition, MK-0354 showed no activation of GPR109b in the cAMP assay at any concentration up to 100 μM. Following these interesting observations, we then prepared a number of other 5,5-fused pyrazoles analogous to those that showed receptor activity in our earlier studies. MK-0354 appeared to be somewhat unique among the members of the pyrazole tetrazole series in having reasonable receptor activity.in vivo: MK-0354 retained the plasma free fatty acid lowering effects in mice associated with GPR109a agonism, but did not induce vasodilation at the maximum feasible dose. Moreover, preadministration of MK-0354 blocked the flushing effect induced by nicotinic acid but not that induced by PGD2. This profile made MK-0354 a suitable candidate for further study for the treatment of dyslipidemia. MK-0354 is a GPR109A partial agonist that activates the antilipolytic pathway in adipocytes. The single-dose and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as tolerability, of MK-0354 were examined in two Phase I studies conducted in healthy male volunteers. The lipid efficacy of MK-0354 was assessed in a Phase II study conducted in male and female patients with dyslipidemia.
