The constrained conformation additionally positions the pharmacophore residues (His, D-Phe, Arg, Trp) in an optimal spatial arrangement for simultaneous contact with the MC receptor binding pocket, which is why cyclic melanocortin analogs consistently demonstrate 10-100 fold greater potency than their linear counterparts in cAMP accumulation assays
As such, the price tag for these agents, which can exceed $1,000 per month, prevents many people from getting them
Evidence indicates it may modulate melanin synthesis pathways, though efficacy is dependent on formulation stability and skin penetration
Composite symmetric and first-order auto-regressive covariance structures were modeled following Littell et al
