Ibutamoren Mesylate

**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** The mesylate salt form of ibutamoren, an orally bioavailable, small molecule, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). Upon administration, ibutamoren promotes the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland, thereby increasing plasma GH levels. This may counteract GH deficiency. GH plays an important role in many biological processes.
