MC4R Agonists (6):

Cat. No. Product Name Effect Purity
  • HY-P0252
    α-MSH
    		Agonist 99.57%
    α-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone), an endogenous neuropeptide, is an endogenous melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) agonist with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. α-MSH is a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).
  • HY-P0252A
    α-MSH TFA
    		Agonist 98.79%
    α-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone) TFA, an endogenous neuropeptide, is an endogenous melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) agonist with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. α-MSH TFA is a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).
  • HY-10624
    THIQ
    		Agonist 98.11%
    THIQ is the first selective agonist of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R), with high affinity and potency for hMC4R (IC50=1.2 nM, EC50=2.1 nM) and rMC4R (IC50=0.6 nM, EC50=2.9 nM). THIQ maintains low potency at MC1R, MC3R and MC5R. THIQ plays a role in eliciting erectile activity in rodents. THIQ acts as a pharmacoperone of the MC4R rescuing the cell surface expression and signaling of some intracellularly retained MC4R mutants.
  • HY-118930
    MK-0493
    		Agonist 99.02%
    MK-0493 is a potent, orally active and selective agonist of the melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R), demonstrating significant reductions in energy intake.
  • HY-P2242A
    RO27-3225 TFA
    		Agonist 98.94%
    RO27-3225 TFA is potent and selective melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist with an EC50 of 1 nM and 8 nM for MC4R and MC1R, respectively. RO27-3225 TFA shows ~30-fold selectivity for MC4R over MC3R. RO27-3225 TFA has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • 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.
