Ghrelin receptor full agonist-3

Ghrelin receptor full agonist-3 (Compound 22) is a selective, potent, orally active full agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (ghrelin receptor) with an EC50 value of 1.8 nM. It stimulates pulsatile secretion of growth hormone (GH), significantly increasing both the frequency and duration of GH release, thereby inducing a sustained rise in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. This compound is applicable for research in oncology and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
