Identity

What PT-141 is

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.

PT-141 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin analog of 7 amino acid residues. SBz Industries sells it for laboratory research.

Research

What the research has looked at

In plain terms, with a link to every study. The most useful thing to notice is what each study was done in.

The molecule behind PT-141 went through the full FDA approval process for one specific use. What research suppliers sell is not the approved drug, and none of the approval-trial data applies to how that product is made or sold.

Handling

Mixing and storage

Lyophilized: -20C, protected from light. Reconstituted: 2-8C.

Full handling guide
  1. 01

    Let it warm up

    Give the vial twenty minutes on the bench before opening it, so water does not condense onto the powder.

  2. 02

    Add bacteriostatic water

    Slowly, down the inside wall of the vial, never straight onto the powder.

  3. 03

    Let it dissolve

    Leave it alone until it clears. Do not shake it. Shaking damages the peptide.

  4. 04

    Refrigerate and use

    Once mixed, it breaks down much faster than the dry powder. Keep it cold and dark.

Questions

Common questions about PT-141

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.
