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.

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).

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.

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.

RO27-3225 TFA is a potent and selective agonist of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R; EC50: 1 nM and 8 nM for MC4R and MC1R) with neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. RO27-3225 TFA shows ~30-fold selectivity for MC4R over MC3R.
