Melanotan I
Also known as: Melanotan I, Afamelanotide, NDP-α-MSH, Melanotan-1
Molecular Overview
Melanotan I is an analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in melanocortin-receptor pharmacology and pigmentation research.
Mechanistic Background
Agonism at melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) engages pigmentation-related signalling in experimental research.
What Researchers Study
Research has examined MC1R pharmacology and pigmentation biology.
Evidence Landscape
Current evidence level: PRECLINICAL. Preclinical evidence does not equate to demonstrated human efficacy.
