Melanotan II Structure and Synthesis
Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide with the sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2, synthesized using a combination of solid-phase and solution-phase methods. This process involves the precise assembly of amino acids, followed by carbodiimide-mediated lactamization to form the cyclic structure. Research has shown that Melanotan II binds to melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R, influencing melanin production and other physiological functions.

Mechanism of Action
Melanotan II acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, which play a role in pigmentation, energy balance, sexual function, and the immune system. Its interaction with these receptors has been the subject of various studies focusing on its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
