Research Overview
Nonapeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide that antagonizes alpha-MSH binding to MC1R, reducing melanin synthesis.
Mechanism of Action
Competitively inhibits Ξ±-MSH binding to MC1R on melanocytes, reducing cAMP-mediated tyrosinase activation and melanin production.
Research Applications
Melanogenesis inhibition studies, MC1R pharmacology, skin lightening mechanism research, pigmentation disorder modeling.
Key Research Findings
research protocol amount-dependent melanin reduction in melanocyte cultures. No cytotoxicity at effective concentrations.
