Description Acetyl-(D-Arg10,Cys11,D-Phe14,Cys17)-β-MSH (10-17) amide is a highly potent and selective β-MSH-derived melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R) agonist with sub-nanomolar potency. The binding affinities for human MC-4R, MC-1R, MC-3R and MC-5R were 0.55 ± 0.06, 16.78 ± 1.53, 56.79 ± 4.66, and < 500 nM, respectively. Daily subcutaneous injection of this product to diet-induced obese rats over a period of 14 days demonstrated an effect on reduction of fat mass.
