MCH-1 antagonist 1 is a potent melanin concentrating hormone (MCH-1) antagonist with a Ki of 2.6 nM. MCH-1 antagonist 1 also inhibits CYP3A4 with an IC50 of 10 μM.
MCH-1 antagonist 1 (Compound 1) also inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) with an IC50 of 10 μM[1].
MCH-1 antagonist 1 is administered to male C57BL/6J DIO mice to assess their pharmacokinetic profile. Effect of MCH-1 antagonist 1 (dosed at 30 mg/kg, po) is measured on the body weight of DIO mice with the AUC0-6 h of 14760 h*ng/mL[1].
