Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dersimelagon (formerly MT-7117) is a novel, orally administered nonpeptide small molecule selective agonist for melanocortin 1 receptor currently being investigated for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria, X-linked protoporphyria, and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). Findings of studies evaluating the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of dersimelagon following a single dose of [14 C]dersimelagon in healthy adult volunteers (N = 6) who participated in phase 1, single-center, open-label, mass balance study (NCT03503266), and in preclinical animal models are presented. Rapid absorption and elimination were observed following oral administration of [14 C]dersimelagon in clinical and nonclinical studies, with a mean Tma
