Setmelanotide is a melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonist peptide used for chronic weight management in patients with obesity due to specific genetic deficiencies affecting the leptin-melanocortin pathway, including POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR deficiency. By activating MC4R in the hypothalamus, it restores impaired satiety signaling in patients with these rare monogenic obesity disorders, reducing appetite and promoting weight loss. It is the first approved therapy specifically targeting genetically defined melanocortin pathway deficiencies.
