Melanotan II at a glance
Melanotan 2 (Melanotan II) is a cyclic seven-amino-acid peptide based on alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. A ring structure makes it far more stable than the natural hormone.
It acts on several melanocortin receptors at once, MC1R through MC5R. MC1R controls skin pigment, which is why it’s studied for tanning, and its effects on MC4R led to the development of PT-141.
How Melanotan II works
Melanotan 2 activates MC1R on pigment cells, which drives eumelanin production and darker pigmentation. Unlike Melanotan 1, it also acts strongly on MC3R and MC4R in the brain.
That brain activity explains the effects on appetite and sexual function seen in early studies, and it’s the reason PT-141 was developed from it.

Published studies on Melanotan II
It was developed at the University of Arizona in the late 1980s and 90s, by a team including Mac Hadley and Victor Hruby, as a way to tan skin without UV exposure. Early human studies confirmed the tanning effect.
It was never approved, and several health agencies have warned against unlicensed use. It’s sold here strictly for research.

Where Melanotan II fits in the range
Quick context: Melanotan II is a cyclic melanocortin agonist that reaches several MC receptors. Other compounds in the same area:
- PT-141 is a melanocortin agonist approved as bremelanotide for low sexual desire in premenopausal women
- Kisspeptin-10 is the signal at the top of the GnRH, LH and FSH chain
Each acts on a different hormone or melanocortin pathway, so one can’t stand in for another. Compare them in our libido and hormone peptides.
Melanotan II 10mg mixing guide
Working out the strength of your solution is one division: 10mg over the volume you add. Common volumes give these results:
- 1mL of diluent gives 10mg per mL
- 2mL of diluent gives 5mg per mL
- 3mL of diluent gives 3.333mg per mL
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent, and it isn’t in the box. Add it along the glass wall, a little at a time, then swirl until the solution is clear.
Storing Melanotan II 10mg
Before mixing, store Melanotan II 10mg at 2 to 8°C in its box. After reconstitution it stays in the fridge too, and most labs use it up within 30 days. Freezing the solution isn’t recommended.
Mix one vial at a time. Powder keeps for months, solution for weeks.
Melanotan II 10mg purity and lab testing
Every batch is sent to MZ Biolabs in Tucson, Arizona, before it goes on sale. They run HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry to confirm identity. The latest certificates for this product read 99.63%.
Scroll through the product photos and the certificate is there, with the test date and the chromatogram.
Both numbers matter. Purity by HPLC means little if nobody checked the identity, and that’s the job mass spectrometry does.
