MT-1 (Melanotan 1) in brief
MT-1 (Melanotan 1) comes in one strength, 10mg x 10 vials, at $74.20 for the box of ten ($7.42 a vial, $0.742 per mg).
MT110 is not on the shelf today: it is made to order, about four weeks, in any quantity.
What MT-1 (Melanotan 1) is
Melanotan 1, also called afamelanotide, is a linear 13-residue analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with two substitutions: norleucine for methionine at position 4, and D-phenylalanine for phenylalanine at position 7. The N-terminus is acetylated and the C-terminus amidated, as in the parent hormone. Average mass 1646.9, supplied as the acetate.
The norleucine replacement removed the methionine that oxidises in native alpha-MSH, so the remaining light-sensitive residue is the single tryptophan at position 9. Compare with MT-2, which is the cyclic seven-residue analogue rather than a linear thirteen.
MT-1 beside MT-2 and PT-141
Its neighbours, on price alone: MT-2 at $0.783 per mg at 10mg (MT10), 1,024.2 g/mol, set side by side in MT-1 vs MT-2; PT-141 at $0.740 per mg at 10mg (P41), 1,025.2 g/mol.
Reading an MT-1 (Melanotan 1) certificate of analysis (COA)
Identity by mass. Average mass 1646.9 (C78H111N21O19). In electrospray the protonated ions come near m/z 1647.9 (singly charged), m/z 824.4 (doubly charged), m/z 550.0 (3x charged); on our certificates the measured mass is matched to the calculated average mass, within about one unit.
- Oxidation: 1 tryptophan, which oxidises to kynurenine and hydroxy forms under light. Kynurenine makes the chain 4 heavier and a hydroxy tryptophan 16.
- Deamidation: no asparagine or glutamine, but the C-terminal amide can hydrolyse to the free acid, 0.984 heavier, inside the tolerance of the average-mass line; telling the acid from the amide takes a high-resolution mass, which the certificate does not carry.
- N-terminus: capped with an acetyl group, so there is no free N-terminal amine.
- Charge: near neutral pH about +1, basic.

Questions about MT-1 (Melanotan 1)
Is afamelanotide the same as MT-1?
Yes. Afamelanotide and MT-1 are names for the same thing. Afamelanotide is another name for Melanotan 1; the vials hold its acetate. The certificate and the vial label carry MT-1 (Melanotan 1 Acetate), which is the name the batch is released under.
How far is MT-1 from MT-2 and PT-141 by mass?
More than 620 units: MT-1 is 1,646.9, MT-2 1,024.2 and PT-141 1,025.2, while those two sit under one unit apart (0.984, an amide against an acid). It is also the one linear chain of the three, thirteen residues with no ring, where MT-2 and PT-141 each close a ring through a lactam, aspartate side chain to lysine side chain. What the three have in common is one tryptophan, the residue each can oxidise, plus norleucine and D-phenylalanine.
What are MT-1’s sequence, formula and molecular weight?
Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Nle-Glu-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH2: the thirteen residues of alpha-MSH with norleucine in place of methionine at 4 and D-phenylalanine at 7, acetylated at the N-terminus and amidated at the C-terminus. C78H111N21O19, molecular weight (average mass) 1,646.9, CAS 75921-69-6.
How much does MT-1 (Melanotan 1) cost?
It is $74.20 a sealed box of 10 vials, which works out at $0.742 per mg. To a US address, freight is included from $1,000 of goods; below that it is the carrier’s rate for the carton or a flat $35.00, and to another country the desk quotes it; either way the figure is on the proforma before you pay. The price per vial is in this page’s price table.
What does MT-1 (Melanotan 1) cost per mg?
It is offered in one size, MT110 at 10mg x 10 vials, which works out at $0.742 per mg at $74.20 a sealed box of 10 vials. Freight included to US addresses from $1,000 of goods.
Can I buy a single vial of MT-1 (Melanotan 1)?
No. One sealed box of ten vials is the smallest quantity of a regular line; for MT-1 (Melanotan 1) that is MT110, 10mg x 10 vials, at $74.20. A first order must reach $100 of goods, so MT110 alone takes two boxes ($148.40) or one box beside other lines. A box is sealed at fill with its batch number on it, and splitting one would break the link between the vials and their certificate.
Is MT-1 (Melanotan 1) in stock today?
No. MT110 is made to order, about four weeks, in any quantity.
How is MT-1 (Melanotan 1) stored?
At minus 20 degrees Celsius, dark and dry. Lyophilised powder tolerates a short spell at ambient temperature in transit, which is why boxes ship without ice. Storage and handling.
What is in a box of MT-1 (Melanotan 1)?
Ten sealed vials of one strength, each labelled with the product code, the strength and the batch number; the trade also calls a box a 10-vial kit. MT-1 (Melanotan 1) is supplied as a powder in a sealed glass vial and in no other presentation. Its specification sheet carries the catalogue name, MT-1 (Melanotan 1 Acetate). Boxes are not split.
Is a certificate of analysis (COA) provided for MT-1 (Melanotan 1)?
Yes. For MT-1 (Melanotan 1) the batch certificate reports its purity, net content and identity by mass spectrometry. The other lines on this page are the specification it is made to, and the desk answers for them on a particular batch. The certificate is sent with the shipment, and again on request, and any batch number can be verified on the certificate page.
Is this for human use?
No. Everything here is supplied for laboratory research only, to trade accounts, and is not for human or animal consumption. The research-use page sets out who can buy and what is not sold.
