Description and Uses
α-MSH (11-13) (free acid) is a synthetic, nonsteroidal compound that binds to and activates α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptors. It has been used as an antiinflammatory agent in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and bowel disease. It is also being studied as a contraceptive and an elastase inhibitor. This drug has shown some promise in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. It is thought that α-MSH (11-13) (free acid) acetate salt may inhibit the production of inflammatory cells by inhibiting leukocyte elastase activity.
