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.
