Chemical identity

What Melanotan-II is

Melanotan-II (Melanotan II, MT-II, MTII) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. The ring is a lactam formed between the beta-carboxyl side chain of Asp2 and the epsilon-amino side chain of Lys7; the N-terminus is an acetylated norleucine and the C-terminus is a primary amide. It contains one D-amino acid (D-Phe4) and no cysteine, so there is no disulfide bond. Molecular formula C50H69N15O9, molecular weight 1024.18 Da (average), CAS 121062-08-6, UNII UPF5CJ93X7, PubChem CID 92432. Pepta Labs lists Melanotan-II as a lyophilized powder in sealed glass vials at 10 mg per vial, with reported RP-HPLC purity and identity confirmed by mass spectrometry; the salt form is typically acetate or trifluoroacetate. Store at 2-8 C on arrival or -20 C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture. For laboratory research use only.

Questions

Melanotan-II 10mg — common questions

Where can I buy Melanotan-II (Melanotan 2) 10mg?

Here, on this listing. Pepta Labs sells Melanotan-II in one size, 10 mg per vial, and lists no other Melanotan-II vial size, so every Melanotan-II order is for this 10 mg vial.

What is in the Melanotan-II 10mg vial as supplied?

A dry lyophilized powder of Melanotan-II in a sealed glass vial, with no liquid added. The 10 mg figure is the supplier-stated quantity per vial; Pepta Labs does not claim vial fill-quantity testing, and net peptide content is not reported per listing. The label names the compound, quantity and research-use designation and carries no lot or batch number.

What salt form is Melanotan-II supplied as?

Melanotan-II is typically supplied as the acetate or trifluoroacetate salt; the counter-ion is part of the dry powder in the vial. The formula C50H69N15O9 shown on this page is the peptide without its counter-ion.

How do I get the Melanotan-II HPLC and mass spec report?

Request it on this page or email support@peptalabs.com and ask for the Melanotan-II 10mg report; it is sent by email, before you order if you want to see it first. The report covers a sampled production run from the source, tested by an independent laboratory: purity by reversed-phase HPLC as main-peak area percent, identity by mass spectrometry. It is not a lot-specific certificate, and sterility and endotoxin testing are not claimed.

How should sealed Melanotan-II vials be stored?

Keep the sealed vial of dry powder at 2-8 C on arrival, or at -20 C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture. Leave it sealed until it is needed in the lab.

Which Pepta Labs guides cover Melanotan-II in more depth?

The Learn guide on Melanotan-II sizes, purity reports and verification covers its chemistry, how the listing is supplied and how to confirm Melanotan-II identity from the mass spectrometry section of a report. How to Read and Verify a Peptide Certificate of Analysis (COA) explains the HPLC and mass spectrometry sections of any report.

What does Melanotan-II 10mg cost?

Melanotan-II 10mg starts at $30.50 per vial. 3-vial packs are 7% off and 5-vial packs are 14% off. US shipping is free with no minimum.

What payment methods are accepted?

Pepta Labs accepts Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Bitcoin and Ethereum (5% crypto discount). Payment instructions are emailed as soon as you place your order.

Is this for human or animal use?

No. Melanotan-II 10mg is offered solely for laboratory research and is not for human or animal use, consumption, administration, diagnosis or treatment. Buyers certify this at checkout.

What is the difference between Melanotan-II and PT-141?

They share the same seven residues, N-acetyl norleucine, D-Phe4 and Asp-Lys lactam ring. Melanotan-II ends in a C-terminal primary amide (C50H69N15O9, 1024.18 Da, CAS 121062-08-6), whereas PT-141 (bremelanotide) ends in a free carboxylic acid (C50H68N14O10, 1025.17 Da, CAS 189691-06-3). The mass difference is about 1 Da.

Is Melanotan-II a cyclic peptide?

Yes. The ring is closed by a lactam (amide) bond between the side chains of Asp2 and Lys7, not by a disulfide; the molecule contains no cysteine. The N-terminal norleucine sits outside the ring.

What does the CAS number 121062-08-6 identify?

It is the Chemical Abstracts Service registry number for the free Melanotan-II peptide.
