PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide, an analogue of alpha-MSH, synthesized in the 1980s. Since then, it has been the subject of academic literature – appearing in over 100 independent publications in the PubMed database. The molecule belongs to the group of synthetic analogues of melanocortin peptides, which are the subject of receptor pharmacology.
In academic literature, PT-141 most often appears in the context of melanocortin receptor research – as a subject of investigation into ligand binding to the MC receptor family in in-vitro models. Scientific teams focus on structural pharmacology and the selectivity of receptor subtypes.
In the laboratory, it is used as a reference analytical standard – for HPLC calibration, mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and comparative binding experiments. Cerebrotech supplies it as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), with HPLC-verified purity ≥ 98%. A mass spectrum is available upon request for each batch.
A compatible solvent for reconstitution – bacteriostatic water – is available separately in our catalog. The product is intended exclusively for laboratory in-vitro research, biochemical analysis, and academic purposes. It is not a medicine, dietary supplement, or cosmetic product. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, application to the body surface, ingestion, or inhalation. Sale is contingent on age verification of 18+.
