PT-141 10mg — Melanocortin Research Peptide
PT-141 10mg (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue derived from alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. As a non-selective melanocortin agonist with activity at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, PT-141 has been used in research to investigate melanocortin receptor-mediated pathways, with particular interest in MC4R signalling in the central nervous system and its roles in autonomic regulation, appetite modulation, and limbic system activity.
Research Applications
Research on PT-141 has examined its activation of hypothalamic melanocortin pathways and the central coordinating mechanisms involving MC4R in physiological arousal models. Studies have also investigated MC4R interactions with neuropeptide Y and melanocortin pathways in appetite and energy homeostasis, as well as MC1R involvement in pigmentation biology. The cyclic structure of PT-141 confers greater resistance to enzymatic cleavage compared to linear melanocortin peptides, making it a useful tool for receptor binding investigations.
Formulation & Purity
Supplied as a high-purity white lyophilised powder, this product exceeds >99% purity as verified by HPLC analysis. Its freeze-dried formulation ensures long-term structural stability, maintaining peptide integrity throughout storage and transport. Researchers may reconstitute the compound using bacteriostatic water or a sterile diluent suited to their experimental protocol.
Intended Use
PT-141 10mg is intended exclusively for in vitro and non-clinical scientific research. It is not approved for human or animal therapeutic, diagnostic, or medicinal use. All handling and experimentation must be conducted by trained professionals within appropriate controlled laboratory environments.
