MC3R Agonists (13):

Cat. No. Product Name Effect Purity
  • HY-18678A
    Bremelanotide Acetate
    		Agonist 99.97%
    Bremelanotide (PT-141) Acetate is a melanocortin receptor agonist. Bremelanotide Acetate can activate MC4R and increases dopamine release. Bremelanotide Acetate induces appetitive sexual behaviors, female mounting behavior, and repetitive self-grooming. Bremelanotide Acetate can be used for the research of hypoactive sexual desire disorders.
  • HY-18678
    Bremelanotide
    		Agonist 99.69%
    Bremelanotide (PT-141) is a melanocortin receptor agonist. Bremelanotide can activate MC4R and increases dopamine release. Bremelanotide induces appetitive sexual behaviors, female mounting behavior, and repetitive self-grooming. Bremelanotide can be used for the research of hypoactive sexual desire disorders.
  • HY-147301
    Resomelagon
    		Agonist 98.79%
    Resomelagon (AP1189) is a potent, orally active melanocortin receptor (MR) agonist about MC1 and MC3. Resomelagon induces ERK1/2 phosphorylation and Ca2+ mobilization. Resomelagon has anti-inflammatory activity. Resomelagon can be used for obesity and chronic inflammation research.
  • HY-P0267A
    Melanotan (MT)-II acetate
    		Agonist
    Melanotan (MT)-II acetate is a melanocortin receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate activates melanocortin receptor 3 and melanocortin receptor 4, and stimulates the release of central endogenous oxytocin. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate reverses recognition memory impairment, increased anxiety levels and reduced exploratory tendency in zebrafish exposed to short-term high-fat diet. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate improves impaired social behavior indicators in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate induces weight loss, reduces food intake and exerts anorectic effects. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate increases intracavernous pressure and erectile activity in brown rats. Melanotan (MT)-II acetate can be used in studies related to memory impairment, anxiety, reduced exploratory behavior, autism spectrum disorder, obesity and erectile dysfunction.
  • HY-P1214
    γ1-MSH
    		Agonist 99.60%
    γ1-MSH is a melanocortin MC3 receptor agonist, with a Ki of 34 nM for the rat MC3 receptor. γ1-MSH displays ~40-fold selectivity over MC4 (Ki=1318 nM).
  • HY-P1531
    γ-1-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH), amide
    		Agonist
    γ-1-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH), amide is a 11-amino acid peptide. γ-1-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) regulates sodium (Na+) balance and blood pressure through activation of the melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3-R).
  • HY-P1217
    [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH
    		Agonist 98.25%
    [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH is a potent and selective agonist of melanocortin 3 (MC3) receptor, with IC50s of 6.7 nM, 600 nM and 340 nM for hMC3, hMC4 and hMC5, respectively in CHO cells. [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH could provide protection against multiple inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and colitis.
  • HY-19870C
    Setmelanotide monoacetate
    		Agonist 99.88%
    Setmelanotide monoacetate (RM-493 monoacetate) is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, selective MC4R agonist with a Ki value of 2.1 nM for hMC4R. Setmelanotide monoacetate activates the CaMKK2/AMPK signaling pathway. Setmelanotide monoacetate mediates body weight homeostasis, feeding regulation and energy expenditure modulation; it reduces food intake, induces weight loss, decreases obesity severity, increases daytime activity and energy expenditure, lowers levels of leptin, triglycerides, fasting insulin and diastolic blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and fatty liver condition, and reverses respiratory depression. Setmelanotide monoacetate is applicable to research related to obesity, hyperinsulinemia, fatty liver and respiratory depression.
  • HY-P1217A
    [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH TFA
    		Agonist
    [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH TFA is a potent and selective agonist of melanocortin 3 (MC3) receptor, with IC50s of 6.7 nM, 600 nM and 340 nM for hMC3, hMC4 and hMC5, respectively in CHO cells. [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH TFA could provide protection against multiple inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and colitis.
  • HY-P0252B
    α-MSH free acid
    		Agonist
    α-MSH free acid (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone free acid) is an MC3R and MC4R agonist with EC50s of 0.16 nM and 5.6 nM, respectively. α-MSH free acid activates cAMP generation at MC3R and MC4R.
  • HY-111131
    RY764
    		Agonist
    RY746 is a selective MC4R agonist, with an EC50 of 10 nM. RY764 effectively inhibits food intake and reduces body weight gain in diet-induced obese (DIO) rat models. RY764 can be used for the study of obesity.
  • HY-P1214A
    γ1-MSH TFA
    		Agonist
    γ1-MSH TFA is a melanocortin MC3 receptor agonist, with a Ki of 34 nM for the rat MC3 receptor. γ1-MSH TFA displays ~40-fold selectivity over MC4 (Ki=1318 nM).
