Term Name: RF9
Synonyms: 1-adamantanecarbonyl-Arg-Phe-NH2, N(2)-(tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]decan-1-ylcarbonyl)-L-arginyl-L-phenylalaninamide, neuropeptide FF receptor antagonist, NPFF receptor antagonist, RF 9, RF-9
Definition: A dipeptide formed from L-arginine and L-phenylalaninamide residues in which a hydrogen attached to the nitrogen of the alpha-amino group of the arginine residue has been replaced by a 1-adamantanecarbonyl group. It has been reported to be a potent and selective antagonist of neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptors, but more recently found to be an agonist at both NPFF1R and the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R).
