Melanocortin Receptor 4 (MC4R) Drugs in Development by Therapy Areas and Indications, Stages, MoA, RoA, Molecule Type and Key Players, 2022 Update

SUMMARY

Melanocortin Receptor 4 (MC4R) pipeline Target constitutes close to 11 molecules. Out of which approximately 9 molecules are developed by companies and remaining by the universities/institutes. The latest report Melanocortin Receptor 4 - Drugs In Development, 2022, outlays comprehensive information on the Melanocortin Receptor 4 (MC4R) targeted therapeutics, complete with analysis by indications, stage of development, mechanism of action (MoA), route of administration (RoA) and molecule type.

Melanocortin Receptor 4 (MC4R) - Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in the hypothalamic leptin-melanocortin signaling pathway. MC4R is encoded by the MC4R gene. Activation of the MC4R plays a key role in the maintenance of energy homeostasis and is associated with suppression of food intake. The molecules developed by companies in Pre-Registration, Phase III, Phase I and Preclinical stages are 1, 3, 3 and 2 respectively.

Similarly, the universities portfolio in Discovery stages comprises 2 molecules, respectively. Report covers products from therapy areas Metabolic Disorders, Central Nervous System, Genetic Disorders, Genito Urinary System And Sex Hormones, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Oncology and Women's Health which include indications Obesity, Anorexia Nervosa, Cachexia, Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome, Female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, Female Sexual Dysfunction, IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease), Metabolic Syndrome, Smith-Magenis Syndrome (Chromosome 17p11.2 Deletion Syndrome) and Type 2 Diabetes.

Furthermore, this report also reviews key players involved in Melanocortin Receptor 4 (MC4R) targeted therapeutics development with respective active and dormant or discontinued projects. Driven by data and information sourced from proprietary databases, company/university websites, clinical trial registries, conferences, SEC filings, investor presentations and featured press releases from company/university sites and industry-specific third party sources.

Note: Certain content/sections in the pipeline guide may be removed or altered based on the availability and relevance of data.
