PT-141
10mg · Lyophilized Powder · Purity ≥99%
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a cyclic heptapeptide metabolite of Melanotan II and a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, studied as a research tool in MC3R/MC4R pharmacology, hypothalamic neural arousal pathways, and dopaminergic signalling in preclinical CNS models.

Research Overview
PT-141's structural relationship to Melanotan II — sharing the cyclic α-MSH backbone while possessing a distinct receptor engagement profile — has made it a valuable comparative tool in melanocortin receptor subtype pharmacology research. Its primary activity at MC3R and MC4R in CNS research models is of interest for the study of hypothalamic-dopaminergic signalling axes, where MC4R expression in the paraventricular nucleus has been linked to neural arousal circuit regulation in preclinical behavioural models. Research using PT-141 as a probe has contributed to the broader characterisation of central melanocortin receptor roles in motivation-related signalling pathways. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is expressed across multiple hypothalamic nuclei and plays a documented role in energy homeostasis, arousal, and dopaminergic tone in preclinical CNS models. PT-141, as a CNS-penetrant MC4R/MC3R agonist, has been used in animal model research to probe the relationship between central melanocortin signalling and arousal-related neural circuit activity, including the role of oxytocin and dopamine pathway cross-talk downstream of MC4R activation. Unlike peripherally acting melanocortin ligands, PT-141's CNS activity profile makes it a relevant tool for investigating central receptor-mediated signalling phenomena. All outcomes referenced pertain to preclinical models and do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-PT1411-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
PT-141 lyophilized powder should be stored at −20°C in a sealed, light-protected vial to preserve cyclic peptide integrity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; prepare single-use aliquots before initial reconstitution. Reconstituted solutions should be stored at 4°C and used within intervals appropriate to the applicable laboratory protocol.
