PT141

PT141

: Research-Grade Peptide for Neuroendocrine and Sexual Function Studies

Overview

Product Name: PT141
Chemical Name: Bremelanotide
Purpose: Used in research on neuroendocrine function, sexual behavior, and melanocortin receptor pathways.

What is PT141?

PT141 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It targets melanocortin receptors in the brain, specifically MC3R and MC4R, which are involved in regulating libido, mood, and energy balance. Unlike other compounds that work through vascular pathways, PT141 acts directly on the central nervous system, making it a unique agent for neurobehavioral and sexual health research.

Chemical Identifiers

• PubChem CID: 9941379
• UNII (FDA): 6Y24O4F92S

Mechanism of Action

PT141 activates melanocortin receptors in the brain, influencing sexual arousal, appetite regulation, stress response, and energy homeostasis. It initiates neurotransmitter responses that affect behavior, motivation, and mood, particularly through dopaminergic and hypothalamic pathways.

Key Research Areas

• Hypoactive Sexual Desire Models
• Neuroendocrine Signaling Studies
• Melanocortin Receptor Pharmacodynamics
• Dopaminergic Activation and Reward Response
• Central Nervous System Modulation

Benefits in Research Settings

• Targets the central nervous system rather than vascular pathways.
• Unique selectivity for MC4R and MC3R receptors.
• Highly stable in lyophilized form.
• Rapid onset and short half-life, suitable for controlled dosing models.
• Supports studies on stress, appetite, and reward behavior in addition to sexual function.

Storage and Reconstitution

• Storage (lyophilized): -20°C or colder
• After Reconstitution: Store at 2–8°C and use within 30 days
• Solvents: Sterile bacteriostatic water (BAC water) or sterile saline
• Shelf Life: 24 months from production (lyophilized)

Safety and Handling

PT141 is for laboratory research use only and is not approved for human or veterinary use. Handle under appropriate safety conditions and dispose of according to local chemical waste guidelines.

Usage Instructions

PT141 is commonly reconstituted in sterile water for injection (SWFI) or bacteriostatic water and administered subcutaneously in controlled animal studies. Dosage and protocol will vary based on study design, species, and purpose. Always consult institutional guidelines and ensure protocols are approved by relevant ethical boards (e.g., IACUC, IRB).

Legal and Compliance Notice

PT141 is not a dietary supplement or drug. It is offered strictly for in vitro or in vivo laboratory research purposes only. The sale is conditioned on the customer’s agreement that it will not be used for any other purpose, including human or veterinary use or resale.
