Melanotan 1 (MT-1), also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetic tridecapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was developed at the University of Arizona by Hruby and Hadley and contains two key modifications from native α-MSH: a norleucine substitution at position 4 (replacing methionine) and a D-phenylalanine substitution at position 7 (replacing L-phenylalanine). These changes create NDP-α-MSH (Nle4, D-Phe7-α-MSH), which is approximately 100-1000 times more potent than native α-MSH at the MC1R receptor and is resistant to enzymatic degradation. Afamelanotide was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2014 under the brand name Scenesse for the prevention of phototoxicity in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria. MT-1 is a relatively selective MC1R agonist compared to Melanotan 2, which has broader melanocortin receptor activity.
Each batch undergoes analytical review using validated laboratory procedures. HPLC testing is utilized to assess purity and compare the sample profile against established reference standards. Where additional verification is warranted, LC-MS analysis may be performed to support compound identity confirmation.
