Melanotan-1

Synonimy: Melanotan-1, Afamelanotide, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH, NDP-MSH, C78H111N21O19

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic tridecapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. It is produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis, purified by preparative HPLC, and supplied as a white to off-white powder with a typical assay of ≥98.0% by HPLC. The peptide is intended for laboratory and research use only, not for human or veterinary administration.

Buyers sourcing Melanotan-1 are usually developing research formulations where a stable, well-characterized melanocortin receptor agonist is required. The lyophilized powder dissolves readily in water and aqueous buffers, and is routinely handled in small-scale solution preparation for in vitro assays. We supply the peptide in 1 g to 100 g pack sizes, with bulk quantities available on request. Each lot is accompanied by a certificate of analysis confirming identity and purity.

Grade & Supply Forms

Melanotan-1 is offered as a research-grade peptide. The standard supply form is a lyophilized powder, sealed under inert gas to protect against moisture and oxidation. It is typically standardized on HPLC purity, with the chromatogram and mass spectrometry data provided for each lot.

For customers requiring larger quantities for process development or scale-up, we can provide custom pack sizes and additional documentation. The powder is hygroscopic and should be stored desiccated at -20°C for long-term stability.

Applications & Formulation Use

Melanotan-1 is used primarily in research settings for studying melanocortin receptor signaling, pigmentation pathways, and related physiological processes. It is commonly employed in in vitro cell-based assays and in vivo animal studies as a reference agonist. Formulators typically prepare stock solutions in sterile water or phosphate-buffered saline, then dilute into the appropriate assay buffer.

Because of its peptide nature, Melanotan-1 is not intended for incorporation into cosmetic or pharmaceutical finished products. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research and development purposes.
