Merotocin (INN; developmental code FE-202767; also known as carba-1-(4-FBzlGly7)dOT) is a peptidic agonist of the oxytocin receptor that was derived from oxytocin.[1][2][3] It is under development by Ferring Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of preterm mothers with lactation failure requiring lactation support, and is in phase II clinical trials for this indication.[3] Merotocin is potent (EC50 < 0.1 nM) and highly selective (>1000-fold over the related vasopressin receptors).
