MK-677 and MOTS-c Interaction

Synergistic
Mechanism-based 51% confidence

MK-677 and MOTS-c have a synergistic interaction with 51% confidence. MK-677 helps counteract the insulin-disrupting effects of MOTS-c. A smart combination — the insulin sensitizer mitigates metabolic side effects. These compounds primarily affect different organ systems.

Compound Profiles

MK-677

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist | Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Selectively binds GHS-R1a receptors in hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering pulsatile growth hormone release while maintaining natural circadian patterns..

MOTS-c

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide | Metabolic Regulator

Inhibits the folate cycle leading to AMPK activation. Under metabolic stress, translocates to nucleus to bind stress-response transcription factors, regulating genes involved in metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cellular adaptation.

Half-life: ~30 minutes Typical dose: Start 5mg daily, increase to 10-15mg based on goals longevity, metabolic
