PT-141
PT-141 (Research Peptide)
For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption, Diagnostic, or Therapeutic Use. PT-141 is supplied strictly for laboratory and scientific research applications, such as in vitro and in vivo studies on melanocortin receptor signaling, sexual function pathways, libido regulation, and central nervous system modulation. All information below is for educational and research reference only.
What Is PT-141?
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was developed by modifying the structure of Melanotan II to retain strong melanocortin receptor activity while removing tanning effects.
Typically supplied as a lyophilized powder (acetate salt form) for reconstitution in research settings.
Key Research Findings and Potential Areas of Study
Preclinical and early-stage research has explored PT-141 for:
Central regulation of sexual function and libido
Melanocortin receptor pharmacology and downstream signaling
Potential applications in models of hypoactive sexual desire
Interactions with other neurotransmitter systems (dopamine, oxytocin)
It remains a valuable tool for investigating melanocortin pathways beyond pigmentation.
Why Researchers Choose PT-141
PT-141 is a selective melanocortin agonist prized for its central mechanism of action, making it an excellent research compound for studying sexual neurobiology, MC4R signaling, and non-vascular approaches to arousal and desire.
