Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed at the University of Arizona by Hruby and Hadley. Unlike the linear Melanotan 1, MT-2 is a lactam-bridged cyclic peptide with a constrained conformation that gives it broad melanocortin receptor activity, agonizing MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. This non-selective melanocortin receptor profile results in multiple biological activities: MC1R activation promotes melanogenesis (pigmentation), MC4R activation has been associated with sexual function and appetite modulation, and MC3R activation influences energy homeostasis. MT-2’s development at Arizona led to the creation of bremelanotide (PT-141), a related compound approved by the FDA for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. MT-2 is more potent on a molar basis than MT-1 at several melanocortin receptors and has a different pharmacological profile due to its cyclic structure and broader 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.
