Description
Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) designed to selectively activate melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R. Its primary research focus is on stimulating melanogenesis to promote gradual and even skin pigmentation without excessive UV exposure. Unlike Melanotan II, it exhibits more selective receptor targeting. It has also been studied for potential UV protection benefits and skin pigmentation conditions.
