PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic peptide described as an α‑MSH analog and a melanocortin receptor agonist investigated in research models of central melanocortin signaling.
In published preclinical literature, PT-141 is discussed in the context of CNS-mediated melanocortin activity and neurobehavioral endpoints, including sexual-function–related research models.

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is reported as a 7–amino-acid peptide and is characterized in regulatory and research sources as a melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1/MC3/MC4/MC5 have been described).
Preclinical publications describe PT-141 as a melanocortin agonist used to study CNS melanocortin pathways, including observed hypothalamic activation markers (e.g., c‑Fos) in animal experiments.
A commonly referenced structural description for PT-141 is Ac‑Nle‑c[Asp‑His‑D‑Phe‑Arg‑Trp]Cys‑NH2 (cyclic heptapeptide format).
Research-only positioning: Product text should remain within research-description boundaries and avoid preparation, dosing, or administration instructions for bioactive peptides.
Storage/handling (general peptide guidance): Lyophilized peptides are typically kept tightly sealed and cold for longer-term storage, and peptide solutions are commonly aliquoted to reduce stability loss associated with repeat handling and freeze–thaw exposure.
FAQ (PT-141)
What is PT-141?
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic peptide described as an α‑MSH analog that acts as a melanocortin receptor agonist.
What is PT-141 used for in research?
It is used as a tool compound to probe melanocortin signaling in CNS-linked experimental models and related downstream endpoints reported in preclinical literature.
Is PT-141 a small molecule like typical ED drugs?
No—PT-141 is described as a peptide (7 amino acids) rather than a conventional small-molecule scaffold.
What vial size is this product?
PT-141 is supplied as a 10 mg vial (research material).
How should PT-141 be stored?
General peptide handling guidance recommends storing lyophilized material cold and dry, and minimizing repeated handling of solutions by using aliquots when applicable.
