| Description | Acetyl-(Cys11,D-2-Nal14,Cys18)-β-MSH (11-22) amide also called HS014, is a potent and selective melanocortin-4 (MC4) receptor antagonist, with Kis of 3.16, 108, 54.4 and 694 nM for human MC4, MC1, MC3 and MC5 receptors, respectively. HS014 modulates the behavioral effects of morphine in mice. HS014 increases food intake in free-feeding rats. HS014 appears to be a useful tool to investigate the physiology of the MC4 receptor. |
