About Melanotan 1

Melanotan 1 (afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied primarily as a melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonist. Compared with the broadly non-selective Melanotan 2, it offers researchers a more MC1R-oriented profile for investigating pigmentation biology and photoprotection pathways. Puritide Research supplies Melanotan 1 as a high-purity, research-use-only material, synthesized for in vitro and animal-model work and backed by third-party-verified certificates of analysis so your data rests on consistent, documented quality.

What Is Melanotan 1?

Melanotan 1 (afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear 13-amino-acid analog of α-MSH, structurally based on the native hormone with substitutions ([Nle4-D-Phe7]) that improve stability and receptor engagement. It is studied primarily as an agonist of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R).

In experimental settings, Melanotan 1 is investigated for its association with eumelanin synthesis and photoprotection pathways in melanocyte model systems. Because its activity is more oriented toward MC1R than the broadly non-selective Melanotan 2, it serves as a distinct tool for pigmentation research.

Present understanding derives from in vitro assays, animal models, and clinical research (afamelanotide is approved in some jurisdictions for a specific rare condition). Findings should be interpreted within their experimental context. Puritide Research supplies Melanotan 1 strictly for laboratory use; it is not approved for general human or veterinary application.
