Melanotan I and Melanotan II are both analogs
of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocytestimulating hormone (α-MSH) that induces skin
tanning. Like its predecessor, Melanotan I, MT
2 plays a role in stimulating melanogenesis and
thus provides a protective mechanism against UV
rays since under its actions melanocytes are able
to increase production and secretion of the
hormone melanin. Scientists have also noticed
that MT 2 had a positive effect on libido due
to its aphrodisiac properties. Additionally, MT
2 exhibits a mild positive fat-mobilizing effect.
Melanotan I is an FDA approved drug under the
brand name Scenesse. Scenesse is most
commonly used to treat patients that have an
intolerance to light.
