Melanotan I 10 mg

Melanotan I, also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is designed to selectively activate the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), making it an important tool for research involving melanogenesis, UV-response mechanisms, oxidative stress, and skin-cell protection. Compared to Melanotan II, Melanotan I exhibits higher receptor selectivity and a more targeted biological effect, making it ideal for studies focused on controlled pigmentation pathways, skin-protection models, inflammation, and photobiology. Its stability and high purity allow for consistent outcomes across a wide range of laboratory applications.

Key Benefits

(Observed in controlled preclinical and research settings)

Targeted MC1R Activation: Offers highly selective stimulation of the pigmentation pathway for mechanistic studies.
Melanogenesis Research: Supports exploration of melanin synthesis, melanocyte behavior, and protective pigmentation.
Photoprotection Models: Frequently used to investigate UV-response signaling, oxidative stress, and skin-cell defense.
Inflammation & Immune Studies: Allows examination of melanocortin pathways involved in immune modulation.
Precision Signaling: Ideal for researchers focusing on selective receptor engagement without broader neuroendocrine effects.

Potential Side Effects

(Generally mild and dose-dependent in laboratory environments)

Temporary nausea or mild stomach discomfort
Occasional headache
Mild fatigue or lightheadedness
Rare localized irritation at the administration site
Possible subtle pigmentation changes in certain test models

Side effects vary depending on research methods, biological systems, and dose.

Storage & Stability
