Compounds investigated for binding affinity to melanocortin receptor subtypes in cellular assays.
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a high-purity (≥99%) synthetic α-MSH analog with a molecular weight of 1646.8 Da. The 13-amino acid sequence Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Nle-Glu-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH2 is studied in melanogenesis and melanocortin receptor research. Supplied lyophilized, store at -20°C protected from light. Used for pigmentation and photoprotection studies.
Melanotan II is a high-purity (≥99%) cyclic melanocortin receptor agonist with a molecular weight of 1024.2 Da. The sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2 binds multiple MC receptors for pigmentation and neuroendocrine research. Supplied as a lyophilized powder, store at -20°C protected from light. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Used in melanocortin system studies.
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a high-purity (≥99%) cyclic melanocortin receptor agonist with a molecular weight of 1025.2 Da. The sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH activates MC3R and MC4R for neuroendocrine research. Supplied as a lyophilized powder, store at -20°C protected from light. Used in melanocortin pathway and central nervous system studies.
