Description
Melanotan I was developed to mimic one of the body's natural hormones involved in regulating melanin production—the pigment responsible for skin color. Researchers have explored how it interacts with melanocyte receptors to encourage the production of eumelanin, the darker pigment that contributes to tanning.
Scientific interest in Melanotan I extends beyond pigmentation, as researchers continue to study the biology of melanocortin receptors and their influence on skin physiology. Its ability to work with the body's natural pigment-producing pathways has made it an important compound in pigmentation research.
Its development has provided valuable insight into how the body naturally responds to sunlight and regulates skin pigmentation.
Interesting Fact: Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is the only melanocortin peptide to achieve regulatory approval for a medical use. It is approved in several countries to help increase tolerance to light in people with a rare condition called erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP).

Quality & testing
Research guide
Melanotan I, now known by its generic name afamelanotide (brand name Scenesse®), is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that selectively activates the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on skin melanocytes. It is primarily studied for its ability to stimulate eumelanin production, enhance DNA repair, and provide systemic photoprotection, and is approved in the EU, USA, and Australia for the prevention of phototoxic reactions in adults with erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP).
