The peptide's structure contains the 4-10 melanocortin receptor binding region common to -MSH and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), but incorporates a lactam bridge between amino acids 4 and 10, along with specific amino acid substitutions (Nle4, Asp5, D-Phe7, Lys10) that enhance receptor binding affinity and metabolic stability
Direct human evidence at the dihydroberberine level remains limited
