Resomelagon, also known as AP1189, is a melanocortin receptor agonist, specifically MC1 and MC3. Resomelagon is also an active oral anti-inflammatory and resolution-promoting compound. AP1189 reduced cytokine release, an effect reliant on both MC1 and MC3 as evident from the use of Mc1r(-/-) and Mc3r(-/-) macrophages. No melanogenesis was induced by AP1189 in B16-F10 melanocytes. In vivo, oral AP1189 elicited anti-inflammatory actions in peritonitis and, upon administration at the peak of inflammation, accelerated the resolution phase by ∼3-fold.
