Melanotan
The indexed literature describes a melanocortin receptor agonist (activator) that acts non-selectively, and consists substantially of dermatological case reporting.
What PubMed contains
Each figure links to the query that produced it. Where a count is zero, the published evidence of that kind was absent from the index at the retrieval date — a fact about the literature, not a judgement of ours.
