Melanotan 2 (MT2) is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone.

It is available in 10mg vials for research and analytical purposes.

Scientific studies on animal test subjects showed potential protection against harmful ultraviolet rays.

At Loti Labs, we pride ourselves on stocking high-quality research chemicals. Buy Melanotan 2 for sale for research purposes only and not for human consumption.

WHAT IS MELANOTAN 2?

Melanotan 2 synthesis first took place at the University of Arizona. It is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptide hormone, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). 

Research on animal test models suggests that Melanotan 2 is capable of stimulating melanin synthesis & promoting rapid tanning of the skin, thereby preventing sunlight-induced skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

STRUCTURE OF MELANOTAN 2

Molecular Formula: C₅₀H₆₉N₁₅O₉

Molecular weight: 1024.2g/mol

CAS number: 121062-08-6

IUPAC name: (3S,6S,9R,12S,15S,23S)-15-[[(2S)-2-acetamidohexanoyl]amino]-9-benzyl-6-[3-(diaminomethylideneamino)propyl]-12-(1H-imidazol-5-ylmethyl)-3-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaoxo-1,4,7,10,13,18-hexazacyclotricosane-23-carboxamide

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic hormone that helps stimulate the production of a specific compound such as eumelanin, which causes the darkening or tanning of the skin.

Specifically, a scientific study on animal test subjects has determined that Melanotan 2 works in conjunction with a pituitary gland-based hormone called alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.  

It increases melanogenesis by stimulating the melanocortin-1 receptor. MT2 can also act on other melanocortin receptors, resulting in effects including penile erection, sexual arousal, and appetite suppression.

MELANOTAN 2 EFFECTS

Melanotan 2’s has many benefits because of its multifactorial mechanism of action on various melanocortin receptors in animal test subjects. The effects include:

• Sunless tanning
• Possible reduction in the risk of melanoma (skin cancer)
• Reduction in body fat and weight loss
• Possible increased libido

MELANOTAN 2 SIDE EFFECTS

The side effects of Melanotan 2 seen in animal test subjects include:

• Facial flushing
• Reduced appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Spontaneous erections (priapism) associated with yawning and stretching complex
• Fatigue 
• Stomach cramps
