MELANOTAN 1 5 MG

Dragon Pharma Melanotan 1 5 mg – Synthetic Melanocortin Peptide for Pigmentation Research

Dragon Pharma Melanotan 1 5 mg is a synthetic melanocortin peptide designed for research into pigmentation, tanning, and photoprotection mechanisms. As an agonist of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), Melanotan 1 stimulates melanogenesis and has been investigated for its potential to promote skin pigmentation and provide UV protection in preclinical models.

Each vial contains 5 mg of lyophilized Melanotan 1 in a 2 mL format, requiring reconstitution with bacteriostatic water before use. This peptide has been extensively studied for its ability to induce melanin production in melanocytes, making it a valuable research tool for investigating skin pigmentation pathways and photoprotective mechanisms.

What Makes Melanotan 1 Valuable in Research?

Melanotan 1 (MT-1) is a structural analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with improved stability and potency. Its selective agonism at the MC1R receptor makes it a focused tool for investigating melanocortin signaling pathways involved in pigmentation, inflammation, and photoprotection.

Researchers value Melanotan 1 for its specificity and well-characterized mechanism of action. Its ability to stimulate melanin production and modulate UV-induced responses makes it relevant to studies of skin biology, photoprotection, and melanocyte function. For investigators exploring other skin-related peptides, GHK-CU 10 mg offers complementary research avenues in skin repair and regeneration.

Current scientific literature on Melanotan 1 can be accessed through the PubMed database, where researchers can review peer-reviewed studies on its biological activity and experimental applications.

Dosage & Usage Guidelines

Reconstitution Protocol

• ✔ Use sterile bacteriostatic water for injection
• ✔ Add appropriate volume to achieve desired concentration
• ✔ Swirl gently to dissolve – do not shake vigorously
• ✔ Store reconstituted solution at 2–8°C

Reconstitute the lyophilized powder using bacteriostatic water to a concentration suitable for your research protocol. The 5 mg format allows for precise dosing across a range of experimental models. Always use aseptic technique during preparation to maintain peptide integrity.

Typical Research Parameters

In research settings, Melanotan 1 is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. Dosing schedules and concentrations vary widely depending on the experimental design, animal model, and specific research objectives.

• ✔ Commonly used in pigmentation and photoprotection studies
• ✔ Often combined with histological and molecular analysis
• ✔ Used to investigate melanocortin receptor signaling
• ✔ Research models include skin biology and UV response paradigms

Factors to Consider in Research Protocols

• MC1R-specific agonist with defined signaling pathways
• Reconstitution stability is limited; prepare fresh solutions for each use
• Individual variation in response may be observed across subjects
• Storage conditions significantly impact peptide stability

Storage

Store the lyophilized powder at controlled room temperature (15–25°C) in a dry, dark place, away from direct light and moisture. The unopened vial should be kept in its original packaging to maintain stability.

After reconstitution, store the solution at 2–8°C and use within 14 days. Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion after the recommended storage period. Before use, inspect the solution and avoid use if it appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particulate matter, or if the vial or seal is compromised.

Keep out of reach of children. Follow proper handling and sterile injection practices during research use.

Proper storage conditions help maintain product stability and consistent performance across the product's shelf life.
