Melanotan II, explained simply
A synthetic alpha-MSH analogue studied for skin pigmentation and other effects mediated by melanocortin receptors.
Research area
Pigmentation and sexual-function signalling
How it works
Activation of melanocortin receptors, including MC1R and MC4R, is associated with pigmentation and different central responses respectively.
Why it matters
The same molecule is discussed for different outcomes, so skin effects should be separated from other observed effects.
What has been observed
Early human pigmentation studies also reported nausea and flushing among adverse effects.
Effects and points to consider
Early studies do not define safety for unsupervised or prolonged use. Pigmentation does not replace UV protection.
