Description
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with selective activity at the MC1R receptor. Unlike Melanotan II, it shows minimal activity at MC3R and MC4R, making it the preferred melanocortin for pigmentation-focused research.

Research Summary
Research demonstrates Melanotan I activates MC1R with high selectivity, stimulating eumelanin production in melanocyte models. Clinical research has examined its photoprotective effects via increased melanin density, with a more favourable receptor selectivity profile than non-selective melanocortin agonists.
