ORG 2766

ORG 2766 is a synthetic analog of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) consisting of amino acids 4-9 of the ACTH sequence[1][2][3][4][6]. It acts as a **Melanocortin receptor 2 agonist (ACTH receptor agonist)** and exhibits neurotrophic effects, influencing memory, attention, and behavioral processes[1][6]. Developed primarily for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, it showed potential to reduce social withdrawal and stereotypic behaviors in children with autism, but clinical evidence was mixed[2][3][4]. Primary indications explored were **dementia, diabetic neuropathies, amnesia,** and **autistic disorder**[1][2][3][4].
