Melanotan-1 (also known as afamelanotide and melanotan-I) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a naturally occurring peptide hormone. Developed as a potential treatment for certain skin conditions, particularly those involving photosensitivity, it works by stimulating melanin production in the skin, which can lead to skin darkening or tanning without sun exposure.

Unlike Melanotan-2 (a different synthetic peptide), Melanotan-1 has undergone more extensive clinical testing and in some countries is clinically approved under the brand name Scenesse for treating erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), a rare genetic condition that causes extreme sensitivity to light.
