Compound information
MT-2 (Melanotan II) research data.
Cyclic lactam heptapeptide analogue of the α-MSH 4-10 region
MT-2 (Melanotan II, MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide amide, Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. It is a shortened analogue of the 4-10 region of the melanocortin peptide α-MSH, in which a lactam bridge joins the side chains of aspartic acid and lysine to close a 23-membered ring. It was designed in 1989 by Al-Obeidi, Hruby and colleagues from the linear [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH template using molecular-dynamics modelling.
Published work is concentrated in peptide chemistry and receptor pharmacology: radioligand-binding and selectivity studies at the human MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5 receptor subtypes expressed in cell lines, structure-activity series that modify single positions of the ring, and newer cyclisation chemistries such as triazole-bridged analogues. MT-2 is also the parent template of several later receptor-selective research ligands.
