What is Melanotan I?

Melanotan I, also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring peptide α-Melanocyte interacting with Hormone (α-MSH).
It has been developed and studied for its ability to binds to melanocortin receptors, leading to modulated melanin production in skin cells.
Through this pathway, Melanotan I has shown potential to associated with pigmentation, studied for potential influence on photoprotection, and support skin homeostasis in experimental models.

Unlike Melanotan II, Melanotan I does not exhibit strong effects on neuroendocrine pathways or appetite, offering a cleaner pharmacological profile for targeted research.
It is primarily studied for UV protection, skin pigmentation modulation, and oxidative defense mechanisms.

➡️ Ideal for research in pigmentation biology, UV protection, and photodamage prevention.

Key Research Findings

• Melanin Production: investigated for effects on eumelanin synthesis via MC1R receptor activation in melanocytes.
• Photoprotection: investigated for influence on natural UV defense and investigated for modulation of DNA damage in experimental models.
• inflammatory pathway modulation Effects: Demonstrated to modulate inflammatory cytokine activity in preclinical studies.
• Skin Function Support: May studied for potential effects on resilience to oxidative stress and environmental exposure.
• Targeted Mechanism: Acts selectively on melanocortin-1 receptors without systemic hormonal disruption.

Dosage and Application

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water before use.

Commonly referenced research protocols: 100–250 µg per administration, administered subcutaneously once daily or as per study design.
Cycle duration: Typically 2–4 weeks depending on research protocol.

Store the reconstituted solution in a refrigerator and use within 30 days.

Storage Instructions
