About this compound
Melanotan II
Synthetic α-MSH analogue
First disclosed
1987
Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, first prepared at the University of Arizona in the late 1980s. Because it activates several melanocortin receptors at once, it has become a standard reference ligand for melanocortin-pathway research.
Non-selective agonism across MC1R, MC3R and MC4R is studied in vitro for receptor binding and downstream cAMP signalling.

Melanotan II is a cyclic α-MSH analogue known as Melanotan II, supplied by MyPeptides for laboratory research use only.
Melanotan II is a cyclic α-MSH analogue known as Melanotan II. MyPeptides supplies it as a lyophilised 10 mg vial for in vitro laboratory research, HPLC assayed at ≥99% purity with a signed certificate of analysis on every batch.
Researchers reach for Melanotan II in pigmentation and MC receptor-family research. It is offered strictly for laboratory investigation — no personal-use claims, no dosing guidance, and no framing as a medicine.
The point of buying research grade rather than generic material is documentation. Every Melanotan II order carries lot-specific HPLC and mass-spec data, so the compound in your protocol matches the compound named on the paperwork. Cyclic backbone gives broader MC receptor activity than Melanotan I.
