Overview
What Is Melanotan II?
Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. It was originally developed for skin cancer prevention research by inducing melanogenesis (tanning). It also shows activity at MC3R and MC4R receptors involved in appetite and sexual function pathways.
Also known as MT-II, Melanotan II is supplied as a lyophilised research peptide for laboratory use only. Research demonstrates MT-II activates MC1R (melanogenesis), MC3R (energy homeostasis), MC4R (appetite/sexual function), and MC5R (exocrine function). Studies show dose-dependent increases in eumelanin production in skin cell models. MC4R activation research has revealed effects on erectile function in animal models, leading to the development of PT-141.

- Non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R)
- MC1R activation induces eumelanin production (melanogenesis)
- MC4R activity researched for appetite and sexual function pathways
- Synthetic α-MSH analogue developed for skin cancer prevention research
- Precursor research compound leading to PT-141 development
Research reference
Melanotan II Dosage — Published Research Protocols
The following reference points are drawn from published research literature. These figures are provided for research reference only and do not constitute dosing recommendations. Melanotan II is sold strictly for laboratory research use.
| Protocol tier | Published research detail |
|---|---|
| Research reference | Published literature varies by model and endpoint — consult primary sources for protocol-specific dosing in laboratory settings |
| Administration route | Subcutaneous injection is most common in published peptide research protocols |
| Frequency | Dosing frequency depends on compound half-life and research design — daily to weekly intervals reported in literature |
| Available vial sizes | 10 mg — select based on your laboratory protocol requirements |
| Titration | Many research protocols start at lower doses and escalate to assess receptor response and tolerability in models |
Research use only: FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not for human consumption, injection, or therapeutic use. All products are sold strictly as research chemicals. By purchasing, you confirm you are 18+ and agree to use products solely for legitimate research purposes.
Safety research
Melanotan II Side Effects — Research Findings
Side effect profiles documented in published Melanotan II research depend on dose, route of administration, and model system. The following are commonly reported findings from research literature — not from personal use contexts.
- Mild nasal irritation when intranasal routes used in published Semax/Selank research
- Injection site reactions for subcutaneous administration routes
- Generally well-tolerated in nootropic peptide literature at research doses
- No significant dependence or withdrawal reported in animal model studies
Handling
Reconstituting Melanotan II
Melanotan II is supplied as a lyophilised powder and must be reconstituted before use in laboratory protocols. Use bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) for multi-dose vials. Inject diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial — do not shake vigorously.
Bacteriostatic water is available from EvoPeak. Store reconstituted peptide at 2–8°C and lyophilised powder at −20°C.
