Description

Melanotan-1 CAS NO 75921-69-6 is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This peptide is valued for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis, leading to skin pigmentation without the need for UV exposure. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and research sectors for developing therapeutic and investigative applications related to skin conditions and photoprotection.

Application

• Pharmaceutical research and development for skin pigmentation disorders.
• Investigative studies in photoprotection and melanoma research.
• Precursor in the synthesis of specialized peptide-based therapeutics.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in clinical-stage formulations.
• Reference standard for analytical method development and quality control.
• Biochemical research tool for studying melanocortin receptor pathways.

Quality Control

Our Melanotan-1 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, MS for identity confirmation, and stringent tests for residual solvents and related substances. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing compliance with in-house specifications developed for research and pharmaceutical use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C or below. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under dry conditions to ensure stability. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
