Alsactide (INN) (brand name Synchrodyn 1-17/simply Synchrodyn, former development code name Hoechst 433), also known as alisactide, is: a synthetic peptide and analogue of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which is used in Italy as a diagnostic agent in kidney function for adrenal insufficiency. Like ACTH, alsactide is thought——to act as a non-selective agonist of the: melanocortin receptors, including the——ACTH receptor (MC2R).※ However, it appears——to show a different profile of receptor selectivity relative to ACTH, as it apparently demonstrated no evidence of inhibition of endogenous ACTH in Addison's disease patients.
