PT-141 (Research-Grade Peptide)
Bremelanotide analogue — for laboratory research only
Product Overview
PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide developed as a melanocortin receptor agonist. Unlike many peptides that act on the vascular system, PT-141 primarily targets the central melanocortin system. While bremelanotide is FDA-approved as a prescription drug under the brand name Vyleesi® for a specific indication, this version is provided strictly as a research-grade material for laboratory investigation.
Research Highlights
- Melanocortin System Studies: PT-141 has been studied for its activity on melanocortin receptors (MC3R/MC4R) in the central nervous system. PubMed
- Preclinical Investigations: Animal studies have explored its role in sexual behavior and central neuroendocrine signaling. PubMed
- Clinical Research Context: Bremelanotide has undergone multiple human trials evaluating its pharmacology and safety profile. PubMed
- Ongoing Areas of Study: Laboratory research continues into melanocortin analogues and their potential roles in neurobiology and energy regulation.
