What is PT-141?
PT-141 is bremelanotide, a lab-made peptide trimmed down from Melanotan II so that it acts on one specific melanocortin receptor instead of several. It is worth knowing upfront that in 2019 the FDA approved this molecule as a prescription drug, brand name Vyleesi, for a specific use in premenopausal women. What research suppliers sell as PT-141 is not that approved product, it is the same underlying peptide sold outside that regulatory pathway. SBz Industries sells it for laboratory research only.
Is PT-141 FDA approved?
The underlying molecule, bremelanotide, was approved by the FDA in 2019 under the brand name Vyleesi, for a specific use in premenopausal women. What research suppliers sell as PT-141 is not that approved product.
How is PT-141 reconstituted?
PT-141 ships as a freeze-dried powder. Mix it with bacteriostatic water, added slowly down the inside wall of the vial, and let it dissolve without shaking. The researcher decides the working concentration, not us, and we publish no protocols.
How should PT-141 be stored?
Lyophilized: -20C, protected from light. Reconstituted: 2-8C. Vials ship in plain outer packaging with no product name on the outside.
Is PT-141 tested, and can I see the results?
Yes. An independent lab tests every compound: it confirms the compound is what the label says and measures purity by HPLC. The latest certificate is on the product page, and you can read it before you order.
Who is permitted to purchase PT-141?
Researchers and institutions, 21 or over. By ordering you confirm the material is for laboratory research and will not be used in humans or animals.
