Alias : Melanotan II, 7)-lactam, Ac-Nle-Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-NH2; Ac-[Nle4,Asp5,D-Phe7,Lys10]alpha-MSH-(4-10)-NH2 MF: C50H69N15O9 MW : 1024.180 CAS : 121062-08-6 Grade : Pharmaceutical Grade Purity : 99% Storage: Closed, below 2 ~ 8oC preservation Appearance : White Powder Application: Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide that studies have demonstrated to exhibit potent tanning (melanogenesis) and libido enhancing effects. Melanotan II is a variant of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a melanocortin peptide hormone which is produced naturally in the body. Structurally, Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of the alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that tends to induce skin tanning. Melanotan II has the additional effect of increasing libido naturally through stimulation of the melanocortin receptors. Melanotan II Listeni/mlæntæn/ developed at the University of Arizona is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that in usage has been shown to have melanogenesis (tanning) and aphrodisiac effects in preliminary studies and clinical trials. It is a cyclic lactam analog of α-MSH with the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2.
