PubMed Abstract: Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R) antagonists are actively sought for treating cancer cachexia. We determined the structures of complexes with and . These peptides differ from by substituting His with Pro and inserting Gly or Arg. The structures revealed two subpockets at the TM7-TM1-TM2 domains, separated by N285. Two peptide series based on the complexed peptides led to an antagonist activity and selectivity SAR study. Most ligands retained the potency, but several -derived peptides significantly enhanced MC4-R selectivity over MC1-R by 60- to 132-fold. We also investigated MC4-R coupling to the K channel, Kir7.1. Some peptides activated the channel, whereas others induced channel closure independently of G protein coupling. In cell culture studies, channel activation correlated with increased feeding, while a peptide with Kir7.1 inhibitory activity reduced eating. These results highlight the potential for targeting the MC4-R:Kir7.1 complex for treating positive and restrictive eating disorders.
