THIQ is a drug used in scientific research, which is the first non-peptide agonist developed that is selective for the melanocortin receptor subtype MC4.[1][2] In animal studies, THIQ stimulated sexual activity in rats,[3] but with little effect on appetite or inflammation.[4] This supports possible application of MC4 selective agonists for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in humans,[5] although THIQ itself has poor oral bioavailability and a short duration of action so improved analogues will need to be developed.[6]
