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.

melanocortin MC4 receptor antagonist

MPCI is a selective melanocortin-4 receptor antagonist.

α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a 13-amino acid peptide hormone produced by post-translational processing of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the pituitary gland, as well as in keratinocytes, astrocytes, monocytes, and gastrointestinal cells.1It is an agonist of melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3R) and MC4R that induces cAMP production in Hepa cells expressing the human receptors (EC50s = 0.16 and 56 nM, respectively).2α-MSH (100 pM) reducesS. aureuscolony formation andC. albicansgerm tube formationin vitro.3It inhibits endotoxin-, ceramide-, TNF-α-, or okadaic acid-induced activation of NF-κB in U937 cells.1α-MSH reduces IL-6- or TNF-α-induced ear edema in mice.4It also prevents the development of adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats and increases survival in a mouse model of septic shock. Increased plasma levels of α-MSH are positively correlated with delayed disease progression and reduced death in patients with HIV.1 1.Catania, A., Airaghi, L., Colombo, G., et al.α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in normal human physiology and disease statesTrends Endocrinol.
