Description
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a cyclic melanocortin-receptor agonist. It's the research analog in the melanocortin family that's studied mostly for central nervous system signaling rather than peripheral effects.
Mechanism
It activates melanocortin receptors — chiefly MC4R and MC3R — in the central nervous system, a pathway tied to arousal and motivation signaling. Its receptor activity and CNS pharmacology were reviewed by Dhillon & Keam (2019) and Hedlund (2004).
Research Applications
- Melanocortin receptor pharmacology (Hedlund, 2004)
- Central arousal and motivation pathways (Dhillon & Keam, 2019)
- CNS signaling studies
- Structure–activity work on cyclic melanocortin analogs

Verification
Storage & Handling
Storage
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Keep it sealed, dry, and away from light until reconstitution.
Reconstitution
Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, then add solvent slowly down the vial wall — do not shake.
Stability
Lyophilized material is stable when frozen. Once reconstituted, keep it cold and minimise handling to preserve integrity.
