MK-7725

MK-7725 is a selective, orally active, and blood-brain barrier-permeable agonist of the subtype 3 of the frog skin peptide receptor (BRS-3) . MK-7725 has a high affinity for the human BRS-3 (hBRS-3), with an IC50 of 3 nM, and its functional activity in the mouse-derived BRS-3 (mBRS-3) model with an EC50 of 22 nM (105% agonistic) . MK-7725 significantly reduces the body weight of obese rats and obese dogs. MK-7725 can be used for the treatment of obesity[1].
