behind the compound.
Overview
Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, synthesized at the University of Arizona for photoprotection research. A lactam-bridge cyclization and a D-phenylalanine substitution make it markedly more stable and potent than the native hormone and allow it to cross the blood-brain barrier.
It is an established reference in the radiance category, studied for melanocortin-receptor signaling and pigmentation-pathway behavior in laboratory settings.
