Description
TAK-448 (MVT-602) is a synthetic nonapeptide agonist of the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R, also GPR54). It showcases exceptional potency (IC?? ~460 pM; EC?? ~632 pM), stimulating luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release in acute dosing, and suppressing the pituitary–gonadal axis upon continuous administration. In preclinical models, TAK-448 exhibited strong antitumor effects in androgen-dependent prostate cancer. Manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility with ?99.90% purity, this peptide is ideal for endocrinology and oncology research. For laboratory research use only.

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
TAK-448 functions as a highly selective, full agonist of the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R), triggering gonadotropin release (LH and FSH) with remarkable potency. Acute administration elevates reproductive hormone levels; chronic dosing suppresses the pituitary–gonadal axis and testosterone production. In prostate cancer models (VCaP xenografts), TAK-448 demonstrated compelling antitumor efficacy. These properties make it suitable for endocrine, reproductive, and oncology research. For laboratory research use only.
Side Effects (For Reference Only in Models)
In preclinical rodent models, continuous TAK-448 dosing led to suppressed testosterone levels and pituitary–gonadal axis down-regulation. Other effects may include transient endocrine alterations or stress axis modulation. These observations are model-specific and intended for research context only. For laboratory research use only.
