Research Information

Melanotan I (also known as Afamelanotide or NDP-alpha-MSH) is a synthetic linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It features a [Nle4, D-Phe7] substitution that enhances receptor binding affinity and metabolic stability.

Unlike the cyclic Melanotan II, MT-I demonstrates selectivity for the MC1R receptor subtype. Published research has characterized its receptor binding profile and downstream cAMP signaling in melanocyte models.
