Melanocortin agonist studied in melanogenesis and UV-response research.
Also known as
Afamelanotide (related approved context) · Melanotan-I · NDP-MSH
Overview
MT-1 (Melanotan-1 / NDP-MSH) is a melanocortin agonist studied in melanogenesis and UV-response research. Related afamelanotide literature informs pigmentation and photoprotection model design.
Catalog interest is primarily MC1R-driven pigment biology. Left Turn Adventures supplies this compound for laboratory and research use only.
Proven benefits
Note: Preclinical / literature endpoints for labs — not established human treatment benefits. Not a protocol.
Melanogenesis endpoints in pigment-cell models
• UV-response and photoprotection research markers
• MC1R agonist pharmacology
• Comparative pigmentation work versus Melanotan-2
• Melanin-density and tanning-response readouts where studied
Results timeline
Note: Illustrative research-observation windows — not a clinical schedule. No dosing.
Week 1–2: Early melanocortin or gonadal-axis signaling in acute models.
• Week 3–4: Clearer arousal, pigmentation, or hormone-axis markers in short research windows.
• Month 2–3: More stable pathway and behavioral endpoints in extended preclinical designs.
• Month 3–6: Sustained melanocortin or reproductive-axis observations where longer windows are used.
