SHU 9119 is an effective human melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors (MC3/4R) antagonist and a partial MC5R agonist (IC50: 0.23, 0.06, and 0.09 nM for human MC3R, MC4R and MC5R, respectively).

[D-Trp8]-γ-MSH acetate(321351-81-9 free base) is a selective melanocortin 3 (MC3) receptor agonist (IC50 values are 6.7, 340 and 600 nM for human MC3, MC5 and MC4 receptors respectively) and displays anti-inflammatory efficacy.

JNJ-10229570 (UNII-N9IX402L35) is an antagonist of melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) and melanocortin receptor 5 (MC5R), which inhibits sebaceous gland differentiation and the production of sebum-specific lipids.

Dersimelagon (MT-7117) is an orally active, selective melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) agonist with EC50 values ​​of 8.16, 3.91, 1.14, and 0.251 nM for human (h), cynomolgus monkey (cm), mouse (m), and rat (r) MC1R, respectively. Dersimelagon exhibits good affinity for hMC1R and hMC4R, with Ki values ​​of 2.26 and 32.9 nM, respectively. Dersimelagon can be used in the study of skin pigmentation[1].

Setmelanotide (RM-493) is a selective melanocortin-4 receptor agonist with EC50 values of 0.27 and 0.28 nM for human and rat MC4R. Setmelanotide enhances cAMP signaling, demonstrates functional selectivity, activates sympathetic preganglionic neurons to influence blood pressure, and is widely used to probe MC4R-MRAP2 interactions. Setmelanotide contributes to obesity-related research by modulating hunger and satiety circuits, reversing risperidone-induced weight gain in mice, and helping characterize MC4R variants in pediatric metabolic disorders. The anti-inflammatory actions of Setmelanotide in astrocytoma cells and the utility in combination with calorie restriction further highlight its broad value in metabolic and neuroendocrine research.

Setmelanotide Acetate(920014-72-8 free base) (RM-493 Acetate) is a selective agonist of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R)(human and rat MC4R with EC50s of 0.27 nM and 0.28 nM, respectively).

SHU 9119 acetate is a well-known antagonist of human melanocortin 3 and 4 (hMC3R, hMC4R) receptors and a partial hMC5R agonist. The IC50 values of human MC3R, MC4R and MC5R is 0.23, 0.06, and 0.09 nM respectively.

Nonapeptide-1 (Melanostatine-5) acetate salt is a peptide hormone that functions as a selective and competitive antagonist of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) with a binding affinity (K i) of 40 nM. It effectively inhibits α-MSH-induced increases in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and melanosome dispersion in melanocytes, with inhibitory concentrations (IC 50) of 2.5 nM and 11 nM, respectively. By inhibiting melanin synthesis, Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt is used in research related to skin pigmentation, adrenal gland steroid production regulation, and skin cancer [1] [2] [3].

Nonapeptide-1 (Melanostatine™ 5) can inhibit the synthesis of melanin, which makes it of interest for treating certain skin conditions.

Ac-c[Cys-Glu-His-d-Phe-Arg-Trp-d-Cys]-Pro-Pro-Lys-Asp-NH2 (compound 5) is a selective hMC5R antagonist ligand with an IC50 of 10 nM.

PG-901 is a full and selective MC5R agonist, exhibiting an EC50 of 0.072 nM for hMC5R. It also acts as a complete antagonist for hMC3R and hMC4R, with Kb values of 1.0 nM and 0.53 nM, respectively. Additionally, PG-901 significantly reduces the levels of cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-6), enhances glucose tolerance, lowers blood sugar, and mitigates retinal damage.

PG-911 is a full agonist of MC5R with an EC50 of 0.031 nM for hMC5R. It also acts as a complete antagonist of hMC3R and hMC4R, with Kb values of 0.38 nM and 0.17 nM, respectively. PG-911 is applicable in neurological disorder research.

Melanotan II acetate is an agonist of melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R), MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. It has been shown to improve recovery of sciatic nerve function after mechanical injury and increase cisplatin-induced decreases in sensory nerve conduction velocity. Melanotan II acetate increases oxygen consumption and protein levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue homogenates and decreases food intake, body weight, and serum levels of leptin, glucose, insulin, and cholesterol.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (4-10) TFA (Acth (4-10)) is an agonist of potent melanocortin(MC4R) receptor .
