Melanin Concentrating Hormone (MCH), a 19 amino acid cyclic peptide, is largely expressed in the hypothalamus. Melanin Concentrating Hormone is implicated in the control of general arousal and goal-orientated behaviours in mammals, and appears to be a key
Potent melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor agonist (EC50 values are 17 and 54 nM at MCH1 and MCH2 receptors respectively). Displays some selectivity towards MCH1 over MCH2 (Ki values are 0.16 and 34 nM respectively).
Ac-hMCH(6-16)-NH2 shows non-selective agonist activity towards both MCH-1R and MCH-2R, which are human MCH receptors in the brain. The compound effectively binds to and activates these receptors, with IC 50 values of 0.16 nM and 2.7 nM for MCH-1R and MCH-2R, respectively.
Bromchlorbuterol hydrochloride is a potent β-adrenergic agonist (β-agonist) compound commonly employed in the investigation of pulmonary conditions such as pulmonary disease and asthma.
MCHB-1, a potent agonist of the human cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor (EC50= 0.52 nM), demonstrates high selectivity for CB2 over CB1 (Kis = 3.7 and 110 nM, respectively), distinguishing itself from similar benzimidazole compounds that significantly alleviate peripheral pain while minimizing central nervous system side effects in mice.
