Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed for advanced preclinical research into melanogenesis and photoprotection. As a melanocortin receptor agonist with primary affinity for MC1R, it stimulates the production of eumelanin, making it a key reference compound for pigmentation and UV-response signalling research in 2026.

Available in 10mg vials

Research applications include:

  • Melanocortin receptor agonism studies (MC1R signalling)
  • Melanogenesis and eumelanin synthesis pathway modelling
  • UV-induced skin damage and photoprotection research
