MK-0489

MK-0489 is an orally active, highly effective, and selective MC4R agonist. MK-0489 exhibits a strong binding affinity (IC50 = 13 nM) and functional agonist activity (EC50 = 4.6 nM) at human MC4R. MK-0489 shows functional activity of 22 nM (EC50) on mouse MC4R and 1.7 μM (EC50) on mouse MC3R. MK-0489 can be used for the study of obesity[1].
