MK-5172 is a novel and potent activator of the σ-receptor. It binds to the σ-receptor in a competitive manner with high affinity and has been shown to significantly inhibit the activation of the receptor by σ-agonists. MK-5172 has been shown to have no effect on the binding of σ-agonists or antagonists to σ receptors, indicating that it does not bind at sites other than those occupied by agonists. The receptor binding properties of MK-5172 make it a useful research tool for studying the role of σ receptors in cells and tissues.
