Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide)

10mg · Lyophilized Powder · 1,646.85 Da

Melanotan 1, known clinically as afamelanotide, is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) with [Nle4, D-Phe7] substitutions that increase its stability and receptor affinity. It is a selective agonist of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes, stimulating eumelanin synthesis and skin pigmentation independent of UV exposure. Research and clinical development focus on its photoprotective properties, particularly in conditions such as erythropoietic protoporphyria, alongside broader study of melanocortin signalling.
