Ki: 0.16 nM (MCHR1) Ki: 34 nM (MCHR2)[1]
MCH1 and MCH2 (melanin-concentrating hormone) receptors. [Ala17]-MCH is a potent agonist at both receptor subtypes. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
[Ala17]-MCH is a potent MCH receptor agonist with Ki values of 0.16 nM for MCH1 and 34 nM for MCH2. It displays selectivity for MCH1 over MCH2 (Ki ratio ~212-fold). In functional assays, it exhibits EC50 values of 17 nM at MCH1 and 54 nM at MCH2 receptors. The Eu3+-chelated labeled form shows high affinity for MCH1 (Kd = 0.37 nM) and low affinity for MCH2.
|
| ln Vivo |
No detailed in vivo activity data are publicly available for [Ala17]-MCH. As a potent MCH receptor agonist, its in vivo effects would be expected to be related to the physiological roles of MCH receptors, including regulation of feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and stress responses.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays are performed to determine the affinity of [Ala17]-MCH for MCH1 and MCH2 receptors. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the receptors are conducted. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand from each receptor is measured to calculate its Ki values. The Eu3+-chelated labeled form is used in binding studies to assess receptor affinity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using cells expressing recombinant MCH1 or MCH2 receptors. The cells are treated with [Ala17]-MCH, and receptor activation is measured by assessing downstream signaling events such as calcium mobilization or inhibition of cAMP accumulation. The EC50 values for the agonistic effect are determined from the concentration-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies would be conducted in animal models to evaluate the effects of [Ala17]-MCH on feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and stress responses. The compound's effects on food intake, body weight, and anxiety-like behavior could be assessed in appropriate models.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No detailed pharmacokinetic data are publicly available for [Ala17]-MCH. As a peptide, its pharmacokinetic properties would be characterized by limited oral bioavailability and rapid clearance. Its ADME properties would be studied in preclinical models to guide in vivo experiments.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for [Ala17]-MCH. As a peptide agonist, its toxicity profile is expected to be related to its mechanism of action. Standard safety assessments would be required for any therapeutic development.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
