PT-141-10mg
$101.75
PT-141 is a synthetic, cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike its predecessor, Melanotan-II, which primarily targeted skin pigmentation, Bremelanotide was specifically developed to focus on the central nervous system effects of melanocortin receptor activation, particularly those related to sexual function. It is a highly selective agonist of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and, to a lesser extent, the MC3R, making it a unique compound for investigating neurobiological pathways involved in sexual desire and arousal.
Description
Quick Facts
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a high-purity synthetic cyclic heptapeptide designed exclusively for advanced scientific research. Supplied as a 10mg lyophilized powder, this peptide is a potent melanocortin receptor agonist, primarily targeting MC3R and MC4R receptors in the central nervous system. PT-141 is widely studied for its potential in exploring neuroendocrine pathways, sexual function, and behavioral responses in controlled laboratory settings. With a purity of ≥99% (HPLC verified), it ensures reliability and consistency for precise experimental outcomes.

Research Applications
PT-141 is a valuable tool in peptide-based research, particularly for:
- Sexual Function Studies: Investigating melanocortin receptor-mediated effects on arousal and libido in preclinical models.
- Neuroendocrine Research: Exploring the peptide’s role in modulating central nervous system pathways and dopaminergic signaling.
- Behavioral Studies: Examining its influence on mood, motivation, and stress responses in controlled settings.
- Energy Homeostasis: Studying its effects on metabolic signaling and physiological processes.
Unlike other compounds, PT-141 acts directly on the central nervous system, distinguishing it from vascular-targeted therapies, making it a unique subject for in-vitro and preclinical research.
Storage and Handling
To maintain its stability, store PT-141 at -20°C in a dry, light-protected environment. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use promptly to avoid degradation. Aliquot the reconstituted peptide to minimize freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring consistent research results. Always adhere to standard laboratory protocols for safe handling.
