A nonpeptide small-molecule ghrelin-receptor agonist and growth-hormone secretagogue, also known as MK-677. Controlled human trials show GH/IGF-1 and fat-free-mass changes, but not improved strength, function or Alzheimer disease progression; metabolic and cardiac safety signals remain material.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
What this overview does not establish
- An evidence grade does not rank this molecule against another treatment.
- A molecule name does not establish the identity, purity or regulatory status of a product.
- Animal, cell or biomarker findings do not automatically establish human clinical benefit.
- Approval in one country or indication does not transfer globally.
Where can I check the evidence?
Original sources from the same evidence record used by Compare. Read each source's population, methods, limitations and date; a citation is not product endorsement.
