Anamorelin

Anamorelin is a selective, orally active ghrelin receptor (GHSR) agonist with anabolic and appetite-stimulating activity. It is being developed for the treatment of cancer-related cachexia and anorexia. Unlike growth hormone secretagogues, Anamorelin specifically targets appetite and lean body mass through the ghrelin signaling pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anamorelin

Anamorelin is a selective, orally active ghrelin receptor agonist that stimulates appetite and promotes lean body mass through ghrelin pathway activation.

Anamorelin is primarily studied in cancer-related cachexia, where it has shown ability to increase lean body mass and appetite in clinical trials.

Our wholesale Anamorelin is manufactured to ≥98% purity with comprehensive analytical documentation.

Store Anamorelin at room temperature in a sealed container, protected from moisture and light.

While both are ghrelin receptor agonists, Anamorelin has a more selective receptor profile and shorter half-life, with clinical focus on cachexia rather than GH elevation.
