MK-0557 is a highly selective, orally administered neuropeptide NPY5R antagonist (Ki =1.6 nM). MK-0557 antagonizes the effects of the NPY5R-selective agonist on body-weight gain and hyperphagia in C57BL/6J mice and significantly suppresses the body-weight gain in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice.

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
