The building block of DS is a disaccharide composed of 1,3-linked N-acetyl galactosamine (GalN) and a uronic acid residue, connected via 1,4 linkages to form the polymer. DS is composed of three possible uronic acids (GlcA, IdoA, or IdoA2S) and four possible hexosamine (GalNAc, Gal- NAc4S, GalNAc6S, or GalNAc4S6S) building blocks.
Xylazine was discovered as an antihypertensive agent in 1962 by Farbenfabriken Bayer in Leverkusen, Germany. [1] Accounts of the actions and uses of xylazine in animals were reported as early as the late 1960s and early 1970s. [1] Results from early human clinical studies confirmed that xylazine has several central nervous system depressant ...
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues. POMC is synthesized in corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary from the 267-amino-acid-long polypeptide precursor pre-pro-opiomelanocortin ( pre-POMC ), by the removal of a 26-amino-acid-long signal peptide sequence during translation .

Hypromellose (), short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used in eye drops, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products.
A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive medication or compound that, after intake, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug. [1] [2] Instead of administering a drug directly, a corresponding prodrug can be used to improve how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted ().
It is a melanocortin receptor agonist and binds predominantly to the MC 1 receptor. Its binding lasts longer than that of α-MSH. This results in part from afamelanotide's resistance to immediate degradation by serum or proteolytic enzymes. It is thought to cause skin darkening by binding to the MC 1 receptor which in turn drives melanogenesis. [3]
