Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with a D-Phe substitution at position 7 and cyclization via an amide bridge. It is a broad melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R–MC4R) and has been studied for melanin synthesis stimulation, CNS effects via MC3R/MC4R, and the interplay between melanocortin signaling and metabolic function. Each vial contains 10mg at ≥99% purity.

Product FAQ
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a linear α-MSH analog that primarily targets MC1R for melanin synthesis. Melanotan II is cyclic, more potent, and activates a broader range of MCRs including MC3R and MC4R.
It is a non-selective agonist at MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R. MC1R stimulation promotes melanogenesis; MC3R and MC4R activation affects CNS and metabolic pathways.
