CAS 121062-08-6 Melanotan II Powder - High Purity Skin Tanning Peptide Raw Material for Research

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of the peptide hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanin production. This research chemical has shown potential in studies related to skin pigmentation and photoprotection.

The raw powder form of Melanotan II offers researchers flexibility in formulation and dosage preparation for laboratory studies. Its molecular structure (C17H22N2O4) makes it particularly interesting for melanocortin receptor research.

When handling this peptide powder, researchers should follow standard laboratory safety protocols including proper personal protective equipment. The material should be stored in cool, dry conditions to maintain stability.

Current research applications focus on MT-2's potential effects on:

• Melanogenesis stimulation
• UV radiation protection mechanisms
• Potential libido enhancement pathways
• Appetite regulation studies

This product is supplied as a white lyophilized powder with high purity (≥99%) suitable for research purposes only. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing including HPLC analysis to ensure consistency and purity.

Researchers should note that while Melanotan II shows promise in preliminary studies, more comprehensive clinical research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and potential applications.
