Melanotan 2 is a cyclic synthetic analog of α-MSH studied at the melanocortin receptor family in published in-vitro research.
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) engineered for non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonism (MC1R/MC3R/MC4R/MC5R). It is one of the most extensively characterised cyclic melanocortin research peptides.

- LC-MS confirmed monoisotopic or average mass within ±0.5 Da of theoretical
- Counterion identity and content (acetate or trifluoroacetate) reported
- Bacterial endotoxin and residual solvents per the analytical method
