Melanotan 2
What Is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide that stimulates melanin production for tanning, increases libido, and may suppress appetite. It acts on melanocortin receptors and produces faster, more pronounced effects than MT-1.

View Study (ScienceDirect)03 Melanocortin receptor agonist melanotan-II microinjected in the nucleus accumbens decreases appetitive and consumptive responding for food ▸
Found that melanotan-II injection reduced food intake motivation in mice without causing adverse effects.
View Study (ScienceDirect)04 The potent melanocortin receptor agonist melanotan-II promotes peripheral nerve regeneration and has neuroprotective properties in the rat ▸
Tested melanotan-II for nerve recovery in rats, finding significant sensory function improvement and cisplatin toxicity protection.
View Study (ScienceDirect)05 The protective effects of the melanocortin receptor agonist, melanotan-II, against binge-like ethanol drinking are facilitated by deletion of the MC3 receptor in mice ▸
Found melanotan-II successfully reduces binge alcohol consumption through specific receptor mechanisms.
