Product Description
[Ala17]-MCH is an analog of MCH and is a ligand for MCHR1 (Ki=0.16 nM) with greater selectivity for MCHR2 (Ki=34 nM). Eu3+ chelate label [Ala17]-MCH has high affinity for MCHR1 (Kd=0.37 nM) but low affinity for MCHR2.
[Ala17]-MCH is a potent melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor agonist. It is an analog of MCH with a substitution at position 17 that influences backbone geometry and folding, altering residue-specific interactions. [Ala17]-MCH exhibits high affinity for MCH1 and MCH2 receptors, with Ki values of 0.16 nM for MCH1 and 34 nM for MCH2. The compound displays selectivity for MCH1 over MCH2, with a Ki ratio of approximately 212-fold. In functional assays, [Ala17]-MCH acts as a potent agonist at both receptors, with EC50 values of 17 nM at MCH1 and 54 nM at MCH2 receptors. The compound has been used in research to study the role of MCH receptors in various physiological processes, including feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and stress responses. The Eu3+-chelated labeled form of [Ala17]-MCH shows high affinity for MCH1 (Kd = 0.37 nM) and low affinity for MCH2, making it useful for receptor binding studies. MCH receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that are involved in the regulation of food intake, mood, and sleep. [Ala17]-MCH is a valuable tool for studying the pharmacology of MCH receptors and for understanding the physiological roles of the MCH system. The compound is supplied as a research peptide with a purity suitable for pharmacological studies. It is not intended for human therapeutic use and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
