Product Overview

Melanotan II is a high-purity synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-MSH and non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R), developed for laboratory evaluation. This product is synthesized to meet the highest industry standards for consistency and reliability in research applications.

Key Specifications

Storage Instructions

• Long-term Storage: Store at -20°C to maintain maximum stability.
• Short-term Storage: Store at 2-8°C for up to 3 months.
• Protection: Keep away from direct light and moisture.

Reconstitution Guidelines

For optimal results, reconstitute using Bacteriostatic Water. Add the diluent slowly along the side of the vial and allow the powder to dissolve through gentle swirling. Do not shake the vial, as this may denature the compound.

Research Applications

Melanotan II is investigated in dermatological, metabolic, and melanocortin system research for its broad receptor activity profile. Research has characterised its potent stimulation of eumelanin synthesis and skin pigmentation through MC1R activation. Studies have explored its effects on appetite and energy homeostasis through central MC4R agonism in the hypothalamus, with preclinical research demonstrating reductions in food intake and body weight. Research has also examined its interactions with the melanocortin system in the context of sexual function, cardiovascular regulation, and inflammation. Its multi-receptor pharmacology and CNS activity make it a widely studied tool in melanocortin receptor research.
