Capromorelin is an orally active, small molecule growth hormone secretagogue that acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It stimulates growth hormone release and increases appetite through activation of the same receptor pathway as the endogenous hunger hormone ghrelin. Capromorelin is FDA-approved for veterinary use (Entyce) as an appetite stimulant for dogs, and has been investigated in human clinical trials for treatment of age-related muscle wasting and cachexia. Its oral bioavailability and well-characterized pharmacological profile make it a valuable research tool for studying ghrelin signaling, appetite regulation, and GH-mediated metabolic pathways.
