CYCLIC PEPTIDES AS POTENT AND SELECTIVE MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR AGONISTS

摘要

Cyclic peptides of formula I are potent and selective agonists of melanocortin-4 receptors, and as such are useful research tool for the determination of the physiological roles of the MC-4 receptor, as well as for the diagnoses, treatment or prevention of disorders or diseases mediated through the MC-4 receptor.
