Based on 11 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Anamorelin (RC-1291) hydrochloride is an orally active Ghrelin receptor agonist with an EC50 of 0.74 nM. Anamorelin hydrochloride can promote appetite, increase body weight, and stimulate the secretion of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1. Anamorelin hydrochloride can be used in the research of anorexia and cancer cachexia.

Biological Activity
Ki: 0.7 nM (Ghrelin receptor)[1]
EC50: 0.74 nM (Ghrelin receptor)[1]
Anamorelin (0.01 nM-10 μM; 15 min) hydrochloride stimulates growth hormone release in a dose-dependent manner in rat pituitary cells, with an EC50 of 1.5 nM[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Anamorelin (3.5 mg/kg; oral administration; 1-7 days) hydrochloride significantly elevates the levels of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 in pigs[1].
Anamorelin (3-30 mg/kg; oral administration; 28 days) hydrochloride does not promote tumor growth in a nude mouse model of lung cancer xenografts, but increases the body weight of nude mice[2].

Animal Model:Female athymic nude mice (nu/nu, Harlan) (18.4-26.6 g, 9-10 weeks old) treated A549 cells[2]
-
Dosage:3, 10 and 30 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral administration (p.o.); 28 day
-
Result:Did not promote tumor growth in the murine NSCLC xenograft model.
Significantly increased the percentage of mean body weight gain at the end of treatment at doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg compared with controls.
Significantly increased peak plasma levels of murine growth hormone (mGH), while peak murine insulin-like growth factor-1 (mIGF-1) levels were slightly elevated but not statistically significant.
Were well tolerated.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.29 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.29 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
