About Melanotan-1

Melanotan-1 (also Afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino-acid analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with substitutions at positions 4 and 7 ([Nle4, D-Phe7]) that enhance receptor affinity and metabolic stability. It is widely studied in research contexts investigating melanocortin receptor signaling and melanogenesis.

Each vial contains pharmaceutical-grade lyophilized Melanotan-1 powder, sealed under sterile conditions for maximum stability and shelf life. The compound is independently verified to ≥99% purity by third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.

Available as a 10mg lyophilized preparation to support in-vitro and preclinical research protocols.
