Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Relamorelin (RM-131), a pentapeptide ghrelin analog, is a selective ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist with a Ki of 0.42 nM for GHS-1a receptor. Relamorelin is centrally penetrant. Relamorelin increases growth hormone levels and accelerates gastric emptying. Relamorelin has the potential for cachexia, gastroparesis, and gastric/intestinal dysmobility disorders research[1][2][3][4].

in vivo

Relamorelin (RM-131; 50-500 nmol/kg/day; s.c.; continuous infusion for 5 days) decreases the loss of body mass and fat mass. Relamorelin (500 nmol/kg/day; continuous infusion for 5 days) increases the food intake and weight gain in rats^[1].
RM-131 (250-500nmol/kg; a single s.c.) stimulates acute food intake in wt but not growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHR) ko mice^[2].

Animal Model:	F344/NTacfBR male rats implanted with tumor^[1]
Dosage:	50, 500 nmol/kg/day
Administration:	SC; continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 μL/h for 5 d
Result:	Resulted in an increase in food intake (tumor/saline 41.4 g, tumor/BIM-28131 72.5 g) and weight gain (tumor/saline -10.3%, tumor/BIM-28131 +19.5%).
