SNT-207707 is a selective, potent and orally active melanocortin MC-4 receptor antagonist with an IC 50 of 8 nM (binding) and 5 nM (function) on the MC-4 receptor.
In Vitro
SNT-207707 binds to the MC-4 receptor with an affinity of 8 nM and shows a more than 200-fold selectivity vs. MC-3 and MC-5. SNT207858 is a 22 nM MC-4 antagonist with a 170-fold selectivity vs. MC-3 and a 40-fold selectivity versus MC-5. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Single subcutaneous injection of 20 mg/kg of SNT-207707 distinctly increases food intake of the mice. Once daily oral administration of both compounds SNT207858 and SNT-207707 starting the day after tumor implantation significantly reduces the tumor induced weight loss .
