Description

MCL0020 is a potent and selective melanocortin MC4 receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 11.63 nM. MCL0020 dose-dependently and significantly attenuates restraint stress-induced anorexia without affecting food intake[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 11.63 (MC4)

In Vitro

MCL0020 inhibited [125I][N1e4, D-Phe7]α-MSH binding to membranes of COS-1 cells with IC50 values of 11.63[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

MCL0020 attenuates swim stress-induced anxiogeniclike behavior in light/dark exploration tests in mice[1].
MCL0020 significantly reverses stress-induced anorexia in rats[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
