2. Description:

Melanotan II developed at the University of Arizona is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α -MSH) that in usage has been shown to have melanogenesis (tanning) and aphrodisiac effects in preliminary studies and clinical trials. It is a cyclic lactam analog of α -MSH with the amino acid sequence AC-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2.

More info about Melanotan 2:

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide that studies have demonstrated to exhibit potent tanning (melanogenesis) and libido enhancing effects. Melanotan II is a variant of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a melanocortin peptide hormone which is produced naturally in the body. Structurally, Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of the alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that tends to induce skin tanning. Melanotan II has the additional effect of increasing libido naturally through stimulation of the melanocortin receptors.

α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Analogues (Melanotan Peptides):

α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a naturally occurring endogenous melanotan peptide hormone of the melanocortin family, which is considered to be the most important of the melanocyte-stimulating hormones when it comes to stimulating melanogenesis, a process which in mammals is responsible for hair and skin pigmentation. α-MSH also plays a role in feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and sexual activity (Bremelanotide and Melanotan 2). α-MSH is a nonselective agonist of melanocortin receptors MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5. Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2 activate the MC1 receptor, which is responsible for effects on skin pigmentation. Melanotan 2 and PT-141 both stimulate the MC3 and MC4 receptors which are responsible for the regulation of appetite, metabolism, and sexual behavior. However, PT-141 Bremelanotide does not stimulate the MC1 receptor.

A few synthetic analogues of α-MSH have been investigated for their apparent photoprotective effects against ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, namely Melanotan (afamelanotide) and Melanotan II, referred to as Melanotan 2. Bremelanotide, another analogue of α-MSH similar to Melanotan 2, is currently under development for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. All of these melanotan peptides have significantly greater potencies than α-MSH, but with distinctive selectivity peptide profiles.
