Notes: PG-931 is a peptide agonist of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R).{49951} It increases intracellular cAMP levels in CHO cells expressing MC4R with an EC50 value of 0.42 nM. PG-931 selectively binds to MC4R over MC3R and MC5R (IC50s = 0.58, 55, and 2.4 nM, respectively). It increases mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse pressure, and respiratory rate in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock in a dose-dependent manner.{49952} It also prevents multiple organ damage and increases survival in the same model.
