Description
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide; NDP-MSH) is a linear synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with a [Nle4, D-Phe7] substitution pattern. It is a potent melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R–MC4R) studied for its effects on melanogenesis, photoprotection, and immune modulation in preclinical models. It serves as a reference standard for melanocortin receptor pharmacology research.
