What customers say
Research overview
Melanotan II is a synthetic, cyclic seven-amino-acid analogue of the naturally occurring hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Structurally, it incorporates a norleucine substitution, a D-phenylalanine residue, and an intramolecular lactam bridge between the aspartate and lysine side chains, modifications that increase its conformational rigidity and metabolic stability relative to native α-MSH.
Research Overview In preclinical research, Melanotan II has been characterised as a potent agonist at melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptors. Early pharmacology work (Hruby et al., J. Med. Chem., 1995) established its structure-activity profile, and subsequent studies in animal models examined its effects on feeding behaviour and melanogenesis (Fan et al., Nature, 1997). Interest in the compound has centred on its melanogenic activity, its potential role in appetite-related signalling, and its interaction with melanocortin receptor pathways more broadly.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Certificate of Analysis included?+
Yes. Every order ships with a third-party CoA matched to the lot number printed on your cartridge. A sample CoA is available on the site.
How is purity verified?+
Each batch is HPLC-tested for purity and mass-spec confirmed for identity, then tested for heavy metals, residual solvents and endotoxins.
Does the solution need reconstituting?+
No. The cartridge is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid solution in 3ml bacteriostatic water.
How is it shipped and stored?+
Validated temperature-controlled packaging, UK next-day dispatch. Store at 2–8°C on arrival, do not freeze, 12-month shelf life.
Who is this supplied to?+
Qualified personnel for in vitro laboratory research and analytical work only. Not for human or animal consumption.
