MK-8245 is a liver-targeting SCD inhibitor for human SCD1 (IC50: 1 nM) and for rat/mouse SCD1 (IC50: 3 nM), with anti-diabetic and anti-dyslipidemic function.

SCD1 (human):1 nM, SCD1 (rat):3 nM, SCD1 (mouse):3 nM

High Throughput Screening: FITC-MBM1 at 15 nM and menin at 150 nM in the FP buffer are mixed and incubated for 1h in the dark at room temperature. For point screening, the 0.2 μL of each compound (20 μM final concentration, 1% DMSO) is added to 20 μL of the aliquot of the protein-peptide mixture and incubated on 384-well plates in the dark at room temperature for 1h. In confirmation screening, the serial dilution plates with compounds in DMSO are prepared and used to titrate the menin-FITC-MBM1 complex. Change in fluorescence polarization is monitored at 525 nm after excitations at 495 nm using the PHERAstar microplate reader (BMG) and applied to determine IC50 values with the Origin 7.0 program.
