Metabolic Research
Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam analog of alpha-MSH that binds multiple melanocortin receptors, including MC1R. It is the reference compound in melanogenesis and melanocortin receptor selectivity research.
Reference data researchers look up before ordering melanotan ii. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.
Each melanotan ii lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.
Melanotan II ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.
PX1 Research synthesizes and fills melanotan ii in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Melanotan I is linear and largely MC1R-selective; melanotan II is cyclic and binds several melanocortin receptors, which is why its research profile is broader.
Yes — PT-141 is a metabolite of melanotan II with central melanocortin activity and no pigmentation effect.
Yes. Every melanotan ii lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.
Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
