Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	MC4R ^[1] 0.27 nM(EC50) MC4R ^[1] 2.1 nM(Ki)
In vitro	Setmelanotide (RM-493) decreases TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced chemokine expression in astrocytes and increases IL-6 and IL-11 mRNA and protein secretion via MC4R. It induces CREB phosphorylation in astrocytes, and this compound treated astrocytes secrete factors that are able to modulate macrophage polarization into an anti-inflammatory phenotype.^[2]
In vivo	Setmelanotide (RM-493) co-treatment enhances weight loss in DIO mice and hypothalamic Glp-1r expression is higher in mice treated with the combination therapy after both acute and chronic treatment. Adjunctive administration of this compound improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers fasting levels of glucose and insulin and decreases cholesterol levels beyond what can be achieved with the corresponding mono-therapies.^[3]
