What is Melanotan I?
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a linear α-MSH analogue with high MC1R selectivity. It is used in laboratory research to study eumelanin synthesis, photoprotection and melanocortin-receptor pharmacology, with a cleaner receptor profile than Melanotan II.
Mechanism of action
Selective melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonism driving eumelanin synthesis.
Primary research areas
Melanogenesis, photoprotection and MC1R pharmacology research.
Research notes
- More MC1R-selective than MT-2 — no MC3/MC4-driven sexual-behaviour endpoints.
- Frequently benchmarked against MT-2 in receptor-selectivity studies.
