Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Chimeric and Cyclic Peptide Ligands Targeting the Human Melanocortin-3 Receptor

In an effort to develop potent and selective agonists and antagonists for the human melanocortin-3 receptor, several new peptide design approaches were employed. This includes peptides featuring a chimeric fusion of the alpha-MSH and AgRP critical pharmacophores, as well as a variety of cyclic ligan...
