Description

Setmelanotide (RM-493, BIM-22493, CAM 4072) is a cyclic peptide full agonist of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) with an EC50 of 0.27 nM and a Ki of 2.1 nM.

Targets

MC4R ^[1]	MC4R ^[1]
0.27 nM(EC50)	2.1 nM(Ki)

In vitro
In vitro	Setmelanotide decreases TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced chemokine expression in astrocytes and increases IL-6 and IL-11 mRNA and protein secretion via MC4R. Setmelanotide Induces CREB phosphorylation in astrocytes and setmelanotide treated astrocytes secrete factors that are able to modulate macrophage polarization into an anti-inflammatory phenotype.^[2]
Cell Research	Cell lines	U373 astrocytoma cells
	Concentrations	0.001 μM –10 μM
	Incubation Time	1h, 4 h
	Method	Cells were treated with 0.001–10 μM setmelanotide for 1 h and thereafter with TNF-α and IFN-γ for 4 h. For blocking experiments, 10 μM SHU9119 (26) was added 30 min before addition of setmelanotide during 4 h. Astrocytes stimulate with setmelanotide and or SHU9119 (10 μM) for 4 h, replace the medium with macrophage culture medium and add the medium to the macrophages 24 h thereafter. From the medium, 100 μL is collected in Eppendorf tubes and stored at −80°C for ELISA assays.

In Vivo
In vivo	RM-493 co-treatment enhances weight loss in DIO mice and hypothalamic Glp-1r expression is higher in mice treated with the combination therapy after both acute and chronic treatment. Adjunctive administration of RM-493 improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers fasting levels of glucose and insulin and decreases cholesterol levels beyond what can be achieved with the corresponding mono-therapies.^[3]
Animal Research	Animal Models	Diet-induced obese mice
	Dosages	3.6 μmol/kg/day
	Administration	s.c.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
