What It Is

PT-141, chemically known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (alpha-MSH). It is a active metabolite of Melanotan II that selectively targets central melanocortin receptors—primarily MC3R and MC4R—in the central nervous system without significantly inducing melanogenesis via MC1R.

What It Is Commonly Used For

  • Central Neurological Sexual Pathways: Studied for its action in the hypothalamus to modulate central sexual desire and arousal mechanisms, independent of vascular or nitric oxide pathways.

  • Melanocortin Receptor Signaling: Evaluated in neurological models to map selective MC3R and MC4R agonist activity in the brain.

  • Dopaminergic System Interaction: Researched for its indirect downstream interaction with central dopaminergic pathways that regulate motivation and reward behaviors.

General Purpose

To provide a selective melanocortin receptor agonist for investigating central nervous system control of sexual behavior, hypothalamic signaling pathways, and neuro-endocrine response mechanisms in laboratory research.
