Melanotan II (10mg)

Melanotan 2 (MT‑2) (10 mg)

(Research Use Only) Melanotan 2 (MT‑2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α‑melanocyte‑stimulating hormone (α‑MSH), supplied as a lyophilized powder for research applications. This material is intended solely as a reference reagent for laboratory, in‑vitro, and analytical studies conducted by qualified professionals in appropriately equipped research facilities. It is not a drug and is not intended for human or veterinary use, clinical applications, or any form of in‑vivo administration.​

Structural Information

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist designed as an analog of endogenous α‑MSH with a cyclic heptapeptide structure. It has been described in the scientific literature as a non‑selective agonist at several melanocortin receptor subtypes (including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R) and is used in preclinical models to investigate melanocortin signaling pathways under controlled experimental conditions.​

Intended Use and Limitations

This product is supplied for Research Use Only (RUO) and is not intended for human or animal consumption. It must not be used for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease and must not be compounded, ingested, injected, or otherwise administered to humans or animals. Any scientific literature or background information associated with Melanotan 2 is provided solely to describe its chemical and research characteristics and should not be interpreted as guidance for clinical use, tanning or pigmentation outcomes, sexual or arousal effects, neurobehavioral changes, or other health or cosmetic outcomes.​

Handling, Storage, and Quality

Melanotan 2 should be handled using standard laboratory practices appropriate for peptide reference materials, including suitable personal protective equipment and controlled laboratory conditions. Lyophilized vials should be stored according to internal laboratory protocols for peptides, typically in a cool, dry environment protected from light and moisture to help preserve material integrity prior to use.​

Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing identity, purity, and analytical data (e.g., HPLC, mass spectrometry), allowing researchers to document material quality and suitability for their specific experimental applications. Users are responsible for ensuring that all work with this compound complies with applicable regulations, institutional policies, and ethical standards.
