Mechanism of Action

Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a 13-amino acid linear analogue of α-MSH with enhanced MC1R selectivity and metabolic stability. MC1R activation in melanocytes upregulates tyrosinase and switches melanin production toward eumelanin (brown/black pigment), providing UV-independent photoprotective pigmentation.

Clinical Benefits

  • MC1R receptor activation for melanogenesis
  • Stimulates protective eumelanin production
  • UV-independent tanning mechanism
  • Research applications in photoprotection
