Research Findings
Archive Ref. MELANOT-RFMelanogenesis Stimulation
Non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with documented ability to stimulate eumelanin production independent of UV exposure in human subjects.
Broad Receptor Activity
Activates MC1R through MC5R with varying affinities. Research explores multiple physiological effects beyond pigmentation.
UV Photoprotection
Preclinical and clinical research demonstrates potential for reduced UV-induced DNA damage through enhanced melanin barrier formation.
Cyclic Lactam Analog
Synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed for enhanced metabolic stability.
Laboratory Verification
High-performance liquid chromatography confirms single-peak purity of 99.68% with no detectable degradation products or synthesis byproducts.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry confirms molecular identity at 1024.2 g/mol with isotope distribution matching theoretical predictions.

Store at -20°C for long-term preservation (up to 24 months). Short-term storage at 2–8°C acceptable for up to 3 months. Protect from moisture.
Reconstituted State
After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C. Use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Photostability
Light-sensitive compound. Store in amber vials or protect from direct UV exposure. Maintain in original packaging until use.
Physical Agitation
Avoid vigorous shaking after reconstitution. Gently swirl to dissolve. Excessive agitation may cause peptide aggregation or denaturation.
