Overview
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a 13-amino-acid analog of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, [Nle⁴, D-Phe⁷]-α-MSH. It is studied as a melanocortin-1 receptor agonist in laboratory pigmentation and photoprotection models.
History
Developed from α-MSH with norleucine and D-phenylalanine substitutions that resist enzymatic degradation and increase receptor affinity relative to the native hormone. It is the more MC1R-selective counterpart to Melanotan II.
Key Areas of Research
- MC1R binding and selectivity across melanocortin receptors
- Melanogenesis and eumelanin pathway models
- Photoprotection research
- Comparative studies vs. Melanotan II and native α-MSH
