Bioactivity | MK-8825 is an orally active, potent and selective CGRP receptor antagonist, which shows concentration-dependent inhibition of Capsaicin (HY-10448)-evoked dermal blood flow with an EC50 of about 7.4 μM. MK-8825 inhibits CGRP-induced spontaneous nociceptive facial grooming behaviors, neuronal activation in the trigeminal nucleus, and systemic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in a mouse model of acute orofacial masseteric muscle pain. MK-8825 is promising for research of acute migraine[1][2]. |
