Overview

What Is Melanotan II?

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. It was originally developed for skin cancer prevention research by inducing melanogenesis (tanning). It also shows activity at MC3R and MC4R receptors involved in appetite and sexual function pathways.

Also known as MT-II, Melanotan II is supplied as a lyophilised research peptide for laboratory use only. Research demonstrates MT-II activates MC1R (melanogenesis), MC3R (energy homeostasis), MC4R (appetite/sexual function), and MC5R (exocrine function). Studies show dose-dependent increases in eumelanin production in skin cell models. MC4R activation research has revealed effects on erectile function in animal models, leading to the development of PT-141.

Melanotan II Dosage — Published Research Protocols

The following reference points are drawn from published research literature. These figures are provided for research reference only and do not constitute dosing recommendations. Melanotan II is sold strictly for laboratory research use.

Protocol tier	Published research detail
Research reference	Published literature varies by model and endpoint — consult primary sources for protocol-specific dosing in laboratory settings
Administration route	Subcutaneous injection is most common in published peptide research protocols
Frequency	Dosing frequency depends on compound half-life and research design — daily to weekly intervals reported in literature
Available vial sizes	10 mg — select based on your laboratory protocol requirements
Titration	Many research protocols start at lower doses and escalate to assess receptor response and tolerability in models

Research use only: FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not for human consumption, injection, or therapeutic use. All products are sold strictly as research chemicals. By purchasing, you confirm you are 18+ and agree to use products solely for legitimate research purposes.

Melanotan II Side Effects — Research Findings

Side effect profiles documented in published Melanotan II research depend on dose, route of administration, and model system. The following are commonly reported findings from research literature — not from personal use contexts.

Mild nasal irritation when intranasal routes used in published Semax/Selank research
Injection site reactions for subcutaneous administration routes
Generally well-tolerated in nootropic peptide literature at research doses
No significant dependence or withdrawal reported in animal model studies

Handling

Reconstituting Melanotan II

Melanotan II is supplied as a lyophilised powder and must be reconstituted before use in laboratory protocols. Use bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) for multi-dose vials. Inject diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial — do not shake vigorously.

Bacteriostatic water is available from EvoPeak. Store reconstituted peptide at 2–8°C and lyophilised powder at −20°C.
