Melanotan I — also written Melanotan 1, abbreviated MT1 or MT-1, and known pharmaceutically as afamelanotide (CAS 75921-69-6, molecular formula C78H111N21O19) — is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptor pathways, particularly the MC1R receptor. PhaseOne has Melanotan 1 for sale online to researchers across Australia as a high-purity lyophilised powder, independently HPLC verified at ≥99% purity per batch.
As a first-generation melanocortin analogue, Melanotan 1 is studied alongside its structural relative Melanotan II within Australian peptide research, manufactured to research-grade standards and independently third-party tested for identity and consistency, with every order shipped Australia-wide.

Melanotan I — also called Melanotan 1 or MT-1 (afamelanotide) — is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, within Australian peptide research.
MT1 is the common shorthand for Melanotan 1, also written MT-1. All refer to the same compound, afamelanotide — a synthetic alpha-MSH analogue. PhaseOne supplies MT1 peptide in 10mg vials for laboratory research use only.
Yes. Afamelanotide is the pharmaceutical name for the compound also known as Melanotan I, Melanotan 1 or MT1 — a synthetic analogue of alpha-MSH. PhaseOne supplies it as a research-grade lyophilised powder.
Melanotan 1 is a linear analogue of alpha-MSH with relatively selective melanocortin receptor binding. Melanotan 2 is a cyclic analogue with broader affinity across MC1R, MC3R and MC4R. They are distinct compounds with different structures and research profiles. PhaseOne supplies both. (!) View our Melanotan II.
They are the same compound under two names — afamelanotide is the pharmaceutical designation, Melanotan 1 the name used in research and supplier listings. What differs is the format: the registered medicine is a specialist-administered implant, while PhaseOne supplies a lyophilised research powder.
PhaseOne ships Melanotan 1 Australia-wide for research use, dispatched locally with tracking, in 10mg vials. Every vial carries a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis verifying ≥99% HPLC purity.
Yes — PhaseOne has MT1 peptide for sale online in 10mg vials, shipped Australia-wide. Worth noting that online results mix two very different things: the registered afamelanotide implant supplied through specialist clinics, and research-grade lyophilised powder. PhaseOne supplies the latter, with a batch Certificate of Analysis on every vial.
PhaseOne prices Melanotan 1 at A$59.99 for a 10mg vial, with the batch Certificate of Analysis included at no extra cost. Current pricing is shown on this page.
No. Afamelanotide is registered in Australia as Scenesse, but it is supplied as a specialist-administered implant for a rare inherited condition, not as a retail pharmacy product — so Chemist Warehouse does not stock it. PhaseOne supplies Melanotan 1 as a research-grade lyophilised powder, which is a different product in a different format.
Melanotan I (MT-1) is a linear first-generation alpha-MSH analogue studied for more selective melanocortin activity, whereas Melanotan II is a cyclic analogue studied for broader melanocortin receptor activity; the two have distinct structures and research profiles. (!) View our Melanotan II.
Yes - PhaseOne provides a peptide dosage calculator researchers can use as a reference tool when planning reconstitution and dilution. Use our peptide dosage calculator.
Unreconstituted Melanotan I should be stored refrigerated and protected from light, and is commonly reconstituted with bacteriostatic water prior to research preparation. (!) Read our reconstitution guide.
Each PhaseOne batch is independently verified by third-party HPLC analysis, with a Certificate of Analysis available for every order shipped across Australia.
Melanotan I is studied within the melanocortin and cosmetic-adjacent peptide research category. (!) Explore our cosmetic peptide guide.
