Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, the developer of setmelanotide, has successfully pursued regulatory approval for the drug (marketed as IMCIVREE) in conditions caused by upstream defects in the MC4R pathway, such as POMC and LEPR deficiencies, where the receptor itself is intact, and the agonist mechanism is highly effective [57]
Its primary physiological effects include: Glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion Suppression of glucagon release Slowing of gastric emptying Promotion of satiety via central nervous system pathways GLP-1 receptors are expressed in multiple tissues, including: Pancreatic beta cells Gastric smooth muscle The hypothalamus Vagal afferent pathways Cardiovascular tissue Under normal physiology, endogenous GLP-1 has a very short half-life (approximately 12 minutes), as it is rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4)
