PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide derived from the melanocortin pathway and studied in laboratory research for its activity at melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R. Research interest focuses on its role in melanocortin signaling, neuroendocrine pathways, and central nervous system receptor activity.

In experimental models, PT-141 is commonly evaluated for its involvement in behavioral and motivational response frameworks, CNS-driven signaling pathways, and intracellular peptide signaling mechanisms. Unlike certain other melanocortin peptides, PT-141 does not rely on vascular-mediated mechanisms in research models, making it a distinct subject in studies of neurological receptor activation.

This compound is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and investigational use.
