PT-141 (Bremelanotide) 10mg
Bremelanotide (PT-141) is a cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin receptor agonist derived from Melanotan-II that activates several melanocortin receptor subtypes non-selectively (order of potency MC1R, MC4R, MC3R, MC5R, MC2R). It is studied as a centrally-acting melanocortin ligand, distinct from dopaminergic and serotonergic agents, and is used to probe hypothalamic and limbic MC4R arousal-circuit signaling. Supplied strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only. Not for human or animal use.

Mechanism of Action
PT-141 is a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist; its central actions are studied through MC4R in hypothalamic and limbic structures. In research models, MC4R activation in the paraventricular nucleus and medial preoptic area is studied for oxytocinergic and dopaminergic signaling within arousal circuitry. Unlike PDE5 inhibitors, which act peripherally on vascular smooth muscle, bremelanotide engages central motivational circuitry — the basis for its use as a receptor-pharmacology tool compound.
