 Mk-0493 Biological Activity

Description MK-0493 is a potent, orally active and selective agonist of the melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R), demonstrating significant reductions in energy intake[1].
Related Catalog
In Vivo MK-0493 dose-dependently increases electrically evoked increases in ICP[2]. MK-0493 is shown to promote robust weight loss activity following oral administration in preclinical animal models, suggesting the drug can access the target site in the hypothalamus[3].
