Acyline (developmental code name MER-104) is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH analogue) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH antagonist) which was never marketed. [1] [2] [3] It has been shown to suppress gonadotropin and testosterone levels in men. [1] [2] [3] Acyline is a peptide and under normal circumstances is not orally active. [3] For this reason, it has instead been administered by subcutaneous injection. [1] [2]
