SMILES: O=C([C@@H](NC([C@H](NC([C@@H](NC([C@H](CC(NCCCC[C@H](NC1=O)C(N)=O)=O)NC([C@@H](NC(C)=O)CCCC)=O)=O)CC2=CN=CN2)=O)CC3=CC=CC=C3)=O)CCCNC(N)=N)N[C@H]1CC4=CNC5=CC=CC=C45.CC(O)=O
Biological Activity: Melanotan (MT)-II acetate is a melanocortin receptor agonist. 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[1][2][3][4].
