alpha-MELANOTROPIN (also known as an alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone or alpha MSH) is an endogenous melanocortin 1-receptor agonist, which exclusively expressed in cells of the melanocytic lineage. alpha-MELANOTROPIN possesses anti-inflammatory properties and antagonizes proinflammatory mediators, including TNF-alpha, IL-6 and NO, and induces anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. alpha-MELANOTROPIN was studied in phase I clinical trial in patients with acute renal failure. In addition, this compound was assigned of orphan designation for the treatment of chronic beryllium disease.

Sample Use Guides
Patients are infused with alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) or placebo over 5 minutes. A cohort of 5 patients is infused at each dose level of alpha-MSH until the minimum effective dose (MED) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) are determined.
Route of Administration:
Intravenous
