Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-MSH, studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (active across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R) and used as a pharmacological tool for melanocortin-pathway research.
Research focus: Research has documented dose-dependent pigmentation changes in animal models, reduced food intake and body-weight effects in diet-induced obese rodent models (via MC4R activity), and effects on sexual-response behaviors in male rodent models (via central melanocortin pathways). Human trials — separate from this compound’s RUO research applications — reported frequent nausea, and clinical development did not proceed to approval.
