Ghrelin Receptor Agonist Understanding

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist: Overview

Ghrelin is a hormone produced by specific cells in the stomach. It exerts its action by binding to receptors in the hypothalamus involved in the regulation of food intake. Ghrelin causes an increase in the pituitary secretion of growth hormone (GH). Drugs that bind and activate the ghrelin receptor have been explored for their effect on appetite, weight gain, frailty, cachexia, inflammation and gut motility. Ghrelin exerts its effects through a specific G‐protein‐coupled receptor called the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS‐R1a). Another GHS‐R cDNA is produced by alternative splicing which produces a COOH‐terminal truncated form (GHS‐R1b) that is pharmacologically inactive. The GHS‐R1a is expressed in several areas of the hypothalamus associated with feeding behaviour, including the arcuate and ventromedial nuclei. GHS‐R1a is also found in the pituitary gland, and other organs such as bone, heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas and immune cells.

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist Emerging Drugs

• Anamorelin HCl: Helsinn Therapeutics/Ono Pharmaceutical

Anamorelin HCl is an orally-active selective ghrelin receptor agonist which has shown anabolic and appetite-stimulating effects. everal randomized, double-blind, clinical trials in cancer patients have shown that anamorelin HCL is safe, efficacious and increases lean body mass, bodyweight, and appetite. Investigators propose to test anamorelin HCL administered with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of locally advanced unresectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer. Its Phase II trial is expected to start in August 2021.
