Bioactivity | Capromorelin Tartrate is an orally active, potent growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist, with Ki of 7 nM for hGHS-R1a. |
Target | Ki: 7 nM (hGHS-R1a) |
Invitro | Capromorelin stimulates GH release in rat pituitary cell cultures with EC50 of 3 nM[2]. |
In Vivo | Dogs receiving capromorelin (30 mg/mL) have food consumption that is significantly greater than dogs treated with placebo. All dogs in the capromorelin group gain weight by 0.52 kg, more than that of placebo group[1]. Capromorelin shows enhanced intestinal absorption in rodent models and exhibits superior pharmacokinetic properties, including high bioavailabilities in two animal species [F(rat)=65%, F(dog)=44%][2]. Capromorelin stimulates GH release in anesthesized rat model, with ED50 of 0.05 mg/kg iv[2]. |
