PT-141
Selective MC4R agonist for central neuro-behavioural research.
Class
Selective MC4R agonist
Half-life
~2 h
Studied in
Neuro-behavioral arousal models.
What it is
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a more selective MC4R agonist studied in neuro-behavioural arousal models via central melanocortin signalling.
Mechanism studied
Central melanocortin pathway modulation.
Research notes
- Selective profile contrasts with Melanotan II in receptor pharmacology studies.
Before sourcing any material
- Confirm a lot-matched third-party certificate of analysis (HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity).
- Check the stated peptide content per vial, not just the gross vial mass.
- Plan reconstitution volumes first so the vial size matches your protocol.
- Verify what is lawful in your jurisdiction — these are in-vitro research reagents, not medicines.
