ABSTRACT:
The present invention features truncated hMCH analogs selectively active at MCH-1R over MCH-2R. Using amino acid numbering provided in hMCH, the featured analogs contain an X6which is either a D-amino acid, 5-guanidinopropionic acid or its lower or higher homolog, or a derivative thereof; and a X10which is either asparagine, glutamine, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, norleucine, cyclohexylalanine, phenylalanine, (2′)-naphthylalanine, tyrosine, histidine, tryptophan, lysine, serine, threonine, methionine, or a derivative thereof.
