Structure-Activity Study of a-N-Methylated SHU9119 Analogues, hMC4R/TNF-a Antagonists, and Mutational Studies of the Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Receptor

The human melanocortin receptors (hMCRs) play a fundamental role in human behavior such as satiety, feeding, sexual and more. A set of SHU9119 peptide derivatives were studied for their structure-activity relationships. These peptides contained a sequential a-N-methylation amino acid scan.A second...
