About PT-141

PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide and melanocortin receptor agonist derived from the metabolite of Melanotan II. Unlike phosphodiesterase inhibitors, PT-141 acts through the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) in the central nervous system, making it a unique research tool for studying the neurological pathways involved in sexual arousal and desire.

Preclinical research has investigated PT-141's mechanism of action in modulating dopaminergic and oxytocinergic pathways in the hypothalamus. Studies in animal models have demonstrated its ability to induce lordosis behavior in female rats and penile erection in male rats, supporting its role as a centrally acting agent in sexual function research.

PT-141 is supplied as a lyophilized powder intended exclusively for in vitro and preclinical research applications. All lots are analyzed for cyclic structure integrity, purity, and sterility to meet the quality standards required for controlled laboratory experiments.
