What is Melanotan?

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2, with a lactam bridge between Asp and Lys. It binds several melanocortin receptors and is used as a reference compound in receptor-signaling and melanin-synthesis studies.

This vial holds 10mg as a lyophilized powder. Each lot is HPLC and mass-spec tested, and the lot COA ships with your order.

Melanotan Research Applications

Published work on Melanotan II includes:

  • Melanocortin receptor binding and signaling in cell assays
  • Melanin synthesis in melanocyte cultures
  • Small early clinical studies at the University of Arizona in the 1990s

Note: Melanotan sold by CoreVionRX is intended strictly for research purposes. It is not intended for human consumption, diagnostic use, or therapeutic application.

Detailed Description

Melanotan II 10mg (MT2) is a synthetic cyclic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research. Its ring structure makes it more stable than linear MSH fragments, which is why it is widely used as a melanocortin reference compound.

What researchers study it for

  • Melanocortin receptor signaling (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R) in cell assays
  • Melanin synthesis and pigmentation pathways in melanocyte cultures
  • Comparisons with related analogs such as PT-141

Melanotan II was developed at the University of Arizona, where small early clinical studies were run in the 1990s. It is not approved as a drug by the FDA or other major regulators.

Melanotan II vs PT-141

PT-141 (bremelanotide) has the same cyclic structure as Melanotan II but ends in a free acid instead of an amide: C50H68N14O10, 1025.2 g/mol, versus 1024.2 g/mol for Melanotan II. The two are close in mass, so the lot COA's mass-spec result is the way to tell them apart.

Verified before it ships

Every lot is tested by an independent lab before it reaches our shelf: HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. The lot-specific Certificate of Analysis ships with your order, so you can match the number on your vial to the data.

Storage and handling

  • Unopened (lyophilized): store frozen at -20°C, away from light.
  • After reconstitution: keep refrigerated at 2–8°C.
  • Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; our free peptide calculator works out concentration for you.
