In Vitro	Ac-[Nle4,D-Phe7]-α-MSH (4-10)-NH2 (0.1 pM-1 μM; 48 h) stimulates tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner in Cloudman S91 mouse melanoma cells[1].
In Vivo	Ac-[Nle4,D-Phe7]-α-MSH (4-10)-NH2 (0-50 pM; i.c.v.; single dose) exerts thermoregulatory effect in rats model[2]. Animal Model: Rat model[2] Dosage: 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, or 50 pM peptide in 0.5 μL sterile saline Administration: Intracerebroventricular injection in the anterior hypothalamic-preoptic area (AHPOA) of rats; single dose; recorded 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min after injection Result: Showed greater difference than mean temperatures of animals receiving sterile saline group.
