Research summary: MC4R-selective melanocortin analog studied in neuroendocrine models.
PT-141, also written as bremelanotide, is a cyclic heptapeptide analog derived from Melanotan II by replacing the C-terminal amide with a carboxylate. That single change removes most pigmentary activity while retaining central melanocortin engagement.
Agonist with preference for melanocortin-4 and melanocortin-3 receptors in the central nervous system, coupling through Gs and cAMP. The absence of the C-terminal amide substantially lowers MC1R-mediated melanogenic signalling relative to its parent compound.
Listed fields describe where this sequence appears in published in vitro and preclinical literature. They are not indications, applications, or claims of effect.
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation on the lyophilized cake. Add sterile or bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial, then let the powder dissolve without agitation; swirl gently if needed. Do not shake or vortex — shear forces denature peptide secondary structure and cause foaming that traps material on the stopper.
As a sealed lyophilized powder the material is stable for extended periods at -20 °C when kept desiccated and protected from light. Once in solution, stability shortens considerably: aqueous stocks are normally held at 2-8 °C for short term work or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.
Single sequence per vial, sealed under inert gas in USP Type I borosilicate glass with a butyl rubber stopper and crimped aluminium overseal. Each vial carries a printed PrimeGen label with product name, strength, lot number, manufacture and retest dates, storage temperature and a QR code linking to the lot record. Vials ship in a rigid foam insert inside a protective mailer at ambient temperature.

This dossier collects everything a laboratory typically needs before requisitioning PT-141 at the 10 mg presentation: how the sequence is characterised in published literature, how the material is assayed and released, how it should be stored and reconstituted, and where it sits inside the wider specialty research catalogue. Every unit is supplied as a sealed lyophilized powder at 99.2% and is sold exclusively for laboratory research use. It is not a drug, dietary supplement or cosmetic, and it is not intended for human or veterinary use.

MC4R-selective melanocortin analog studied in neuroendocrine models. Investigators most often encounter this sequence in melanocortin receptor subtype selectivity and in central nervous system signalling models, which is why the 10 mg vial is the format we release most frequently — it gives enough material for a full dose-response series at typical assay concentrations without leaving a large reconstituted surplus to store.

Descriptions above summarise observations reported in peer reviewed in vitro and animal literature. They describe what has been measured in model systems and are not claims of effect, indications, or guidance for use in humans or animals. Laboratories designing new work should return to the primary literature for concentration ranges, vehicle selection and control design, because reported effects in this class are strongly assay dependent.
Published work involving PT-141 clusters into a small number of recurring experimental settings:
Because these are in vitro and preclinical contexts, the practical requirement on the material itself is consistency: a known mass of a single sequence, a stated purity, and a lot record that can be cited in a methods section. That is what the 10 mg vial and its accompanying certificate of analysis are designed to provide.
Each PT-141 lot is assayed in house by reverse-phase HPLC and then re-tested by an independent analytical laboratory using HPLC alongside mass spectrometry for identity confirmation. The HPLC trace establishes the chromatographic purity figure printed on the label — 99.2% for the current release — while the mass spectrometry step confirms that the observed molecular ion matches the expected mass for the sequence rather than a truncated or deletion analogue.
Certificates are issued digitally rather than enclosed in the shipment, which keeps the document versioned and retrievable long after the vial is consumed. You can view or request the current report from the certificates library, and the underlying chromatograms and spectra can be requested through laboratory support. Our full release criteria are documented on the quality control and laboratory standards pages.
Storage. Sealed 10 mg vials are held desiccated and protected from light. Short holding periods at 2-8 °C are routine; for longer storage the lyophilized cake is kept at -20 °C. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before breaking the seal so that atmospheric moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitution. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation on the lyophilized cake. Add sterile or bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial, then let the powder dissolve without agitation; swirl gently if needed. Do not shake or vortex — shear forces denature peptide secondary structure and cause foaming that traps material on the stopper.
Stability. As a sealed lyophilized powder the material is stable for extended periods at -20 °C when kept desiccated and protected from light. Once in solution, stability shortens considerably: aqueous stocks are normally held at 2-8 °C for short term work or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.
Handling. Work with the reconstituted solution under standard laboratory containment, record the reconstitution volume and date against the lot, and label aliquots with the resulting concentration. Volumes and concentrations are set by your own protocol; nothing on this page is a dosing instruction.
The most common source of irreproducibility with lyophilized peptides is not the sequence itself but the arithmetic around it. A 10 mg vial contains a nominal peptide mass; the actual peptide content of any lyophilized cake also reflects counter-ion and residual moisture content, so laboratories reporting exact molar concentrations should either use the net peptide content figure from the lot certificate or determine content independently by amino acid analysis or quantitative UV. Using the published average mass of 1025.2 g/mol, a full 10 mg vial reconstituted in 1 mL of diluent gives a convenient round stock concentration for serial dilution.
Three practical points recur in method sections for this class of material:
Where a study spans several weeks, aliquoting the reconstituted stock immediately and freezing single-use volumes avoids the freeze-thaw cycling that accounts for most of the potency drift observed in longitudinal work.
PT-141 is released in a single 10 mg presentation, priced at $32.00 per vial, which covers the concentration range used in most published specialty research work. Whatever presentation you select, the underlying material comes from the same synthesis and release programme, so switching strength does not change the analytical profile.
Orders ship from our facility in Chase City, Virginia, within the United States only, and every shipment carries the research use restriction on the outer documentation. Vials travel at ambient temperature in a rigid insert; lyophilized peptide is stable for the transit window, and the material should be moved to its long term storage temperature on arrival. Research materials are non returnable once dispatched.
Laboratories sourcing PT-141 frequently reference Oxytocin 5 mg, Melanotan II 10 mg, Dihexa 10 mg and Kisspeptin-10 5 mg alongside it, either as comparators in the same assay or as adjacent sequences in the same pathway literature.

Ordering details, transit times and our US shipping guarantee are set out on the shipping policy page, and general purchasing and compliance questions are answered in the frequently asked questions. Terms of sale, including our no returns policy on research materials, are published on the terms page.
Every PT-141 release passes through the same programme: synthesis against a defined sequence, in-house RP-HPLC purity assay, independent third party HPLC and mass spectrometry confirmation, visual inspection of the lyophilized cake, and a documented fill and seal step under inert gas in USP Type I borosilicate glass. Material that fails any stage is not released, and the certificate published for a lot is the certificate generated for that specific synthesis — never a representative or historical document carried over from an earlier batch.
Laboratories evaluating PT-141 for the first time frequently ask for the raw analytical files rather than the summary certificate. Chromatograms, mass spectra and, where applicable, net peptide content data can be requested for any lot; our support team answers analytical questions directly rather than through a ticket queue. Institutional purchasing, repeat supply for multi-month studies and quotations for multiple strengths are handled the same way.
The characterisations summarised above are drawn from peer reviewed in vitro and preclinical publications indexed in PubMed and from the corresponding entries in ChEMBL, PubChem and UniProt. Searching the compound name “PT-141” or CAS 189691-06-3 in those databases returns the primary sources for the mechanism and application notes on this page. PrimeGen Co. does not publish clinical data and makes no therapeutic claim for this or any other catalogue item.

Each unit contains 10 mg of lyophilized PT-141 in a sealed vial. The lot matched certificate of analysis is available digitally on the Certificates page and is not physically enclosed in the shipment.
Every lot is assayed in house by RP-HPLC and then re-tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC and mass spectrometry. This lot reports 99.2%.
Reconstitution parameters depend on your protocol. Use bacteriostatic or sterile diluent, add slowly against the vial wall, and swirl rather than shake to avoid shearing the peptide.
Yes. Chromatograms and MS spectra for any lot can be requested through the certificates page or by contacting the laboratory support team.
No. PT-141 is supplied strictly as a laboratory research chemical. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic, it is not approved for human or veterinary use, and it must not be administered to humans or animals.
Sealed 10 mg vials are held desiccated, protected from light, and away from repeated temperature swings; 2-8 °C suits short holding periods while -20 °C is used for longer storage of the lyophilized cake. Once reconstituted, the solution is normally kept at 2-8 °C for near-term work or aliquoted into single-use volumes and frozen, since repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.
Each vial is filled to a nominal 10 mg of lyophilized peptide, with a published average molecular weight of 1025.2 g/mol. Because lyophilized peptide also carries counter-ion and residual moisture, laboratories reporting exact molar concentrations should use the net peptide content on the lot certificate or determine content independently.
Every lot is assayed in house by reverse-phase HPLC for chromatographic purity, then re-tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC alongside mass spectrometry to confirm that the observed mass matches the expected sequence rather than a truncated or deletion analogue. The release specification is ≥ 98% by RP-HPLC; this lot reports 99.2%.
No. Orders ship within the United States only, dispatched directly from our facility in Chase City, Virginia. Vials travel at ambient temperature in a rigid protective insert, and the lyophilized powder is stable across the transit window; move the material to its long-term storage temperature on arrival.
No. Research materials are non-returnable once dispatched, because chain-of-custody and storage conditions cannot be verified after a vial leaves the facility. If a shipment arrives damaged or a lot does not match its certificate of analysis, contact laboratory support and we will resolve it directly.
