Description Melanotan (MT)-II, a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist, is a synthetic analogue of the peptide hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
In vitro Melanotan (MT)-II是一种强效的非选择性黑色素皮质激素受体激动剂,其对MC1、MC3、MC4和MC5受体亚型具有高亲合力,这些受体亚型参与了多种生理系统的调节,例如色素体系、能量平衡、性功能、免疫系统、炎症以及心血管系统[1]。
In vivo Melanotan (MT)-II通过剂量依赖性诱导作用促进勃起,通过激发勃起事件和缩短首次勃起事件发生的潜伏期来实现此效果。经静脉注射1 mg/kg的Melanotan (MT)-II后,由海绵体神经刺激引起的勃起反应得到增强,因此展现了对勃起的促进效果[2]。Melanotan (MT)-II在大鼠中促进周围神经再生并具有神经保护特性。Melanotan (MT)-II在每48小时皮下给予20 μg/kg的剂量下,显著增强了大鼠坐骨神经损伤后感觉功能的恢复,但2 μg/kg或50 μg/kg的剂量则无此效果[3]。在男性勃起功能障碍中,Melanotan (MT)-II是一个强效的勃起启动剂[4]。Melanotan (MT)-II在小鼠模型中减少食物摄入和体重,并引发产热反应[5]。
