Summary:
A German University has developed synthesized short peptides that show high inverse agonist potency towards the ghrelin receptor, which is useful in the treatment of feeding-related disorders, such as obesity. The endogenous ligand ghrelin is the only known orexigenic gastrointestinal peptide and plays a central role in the regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis. The university is looking for partners from industry for further R&D and license agreements.
