What it is
A plain-language overview.
Setmelanotide is the first available treatment for patients with pro-opiomelanocortin, proprotein subilisin/kexin type 1, or leptin deficiencies. It is an agonist of the melanocortin 4 receptor. Earlier attempts at agonizing MC4R (such as LY2112688) lead to successful weight loss, but also an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Other earlier treatments for these patients included gastric bypass surgery. Patients taking setmelanotide experienced an average weight loss of 0.6 kg/week. Imcivree was granted EMA orphan designation on November 19, 2018 and FDA approval on November 25, 2020. On May 4, 2023, it was approved by Health Canada. The listed molecular formula is C49H68N18O9S2. PepGrades separately preserves the catalog category because a chemical identity record does not establish a use, outcome, or product quality.
