Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research demonstrates it binds to the MC1R melanocortin receptor, stimulating melanogenesis — the production of melanin pigment. Studies have examined its photoprotective properties and its potential to increase eumelanin production in skin cells. It has been the subject of clinical research for conditions involving photosensitivity and has been investigated as a potential UV-protective compound.
