The D-Phe inversion sits inside the conserved His-Phe-Arg-Trp message tetrapeptide that every melanocortin receptor recognises, and it is the substitution responsible for the markedly prolonged receptor occupancy reported for this analogue relative to alpha-MSH, because inverting that stereocentre removes a favoured chymotrypsin-like cleavage point
