Compound Overview
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), consisting of a modified linear amino acid sequence with N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation. Its defined sequence architecture and molecular mass contribute to its physicochemical stability and analytical detection characteristics in laboratory research workflows.
In laboratory research settings, Melanotan 1 is evaluated for receptor interaction profiling, peptide stability analysis, and chromatographic and mass spectrometry–based identification. Experimental literature describes its classification within melanocortin receptor research systems investigated under controlled in vitro and preclinical model conditions. All data referenced on this page is derived from published preclinical animal and in vitro studies. No human clinical trials have established approved uses for Melanotan 1 as a research compound.

Handling & Storage
Lyophilized Stability:
When stored sealed in a dry environment protected from light, lyophilized peptide material may maintain chemical stability for up to 12 months at controlled room temperature. For maximum long-term preservation, storage at -20°C is recommended.
Post-Reconstitution Stability:
Following reconstitution under sterile laboratory conditions, the solution may maintain stability for up to 30 days when stored at 2–8°C. Minimize repeated freeze–thaw cycles and protect from light to preserve peptide integrity.
Handling:
Allow vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Use sterile technique throughout preparation.
