Melanotan 1 (MT1) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Here's a structured overview of its characteristics, uses, and considerations:

Key Features:
- **Mechanism of Action**: Binds to melanocortin-1 receptors (MC1R) in the skin, stimulating melanin production. This increases skin pigmentation (tanning) with minimal UV exposure.
- **Administration**: Typically administered via subcutaneous injection due to its peptide structure, which would degrade if taken orally.

Primary Uses:
1. **Cosmetic Tanning**: Promotes rapid tanning, often marketed as a "sunless tanning" agent.
2. **Medical Applications**: 
   - Investigated for **erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP)**, a genetic disorder causing severe sun sensitivity. Clinical trials (e.g., the CLINIMEL study) have shown it reduces phototoxicity in EPP patients.
   - Potential use in skin cancer prevention (via increased melanin’s UV-protective effects), though evidence is limited.

Safety and Side Effects:
- **Common Side Effects**: Nausea, facial flushing, appetite suppression, and darkening of moles/freckles.
- **Risks**: 
  - Unregulated products may pose contamination or dosing risks.
  - Users might overexpose to UV (sun/tanning beds), increasing skin cancer risk.
  - Long-term safety data are lacking; possible hyperpigmentation or unknown chronic effects.

 **Legal and Regulatory Status:**
- **Not FDA-Approved** for cosmetic use. Sold as an unregulated "research chemical" in some regions.
- In the EU, a nasal formulation (Scenesse/afamelanotide) is approved for EPP.

 **Comparison with Melanotan 2 (MT2):**
- **MT2**: Activates multiple melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R), leading to broader effects (e.g., libido enhancement, appetite suppression) but more side effects (e.g., spontaneous erections, nausea).
- **MT1**: More selective for MC1R, potentially fewer side effects, and a longer half-life.

**Considerations for Use:**
- **Dosing**: Often involves a loading phase (daily injections) followed by maintenance doses.
- **Ethical/Legal Concerns**: Use outside medical settings raises safety and regulatory issues. Quality control in unregulated markets is unreliable.

**Conclusion:**
Melanotan 1 is primarily used for tanning and has niche medical applications. While it offers photoprotection benefits for conditions like EPP, its cosmetic use remains controversial due to safety risks and lack of oversight. Users should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals, particularly given the potential for misuse and unknown long-term effects.
