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.

Why Buy Melanotan from CoreVionRX?
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.
