Description
PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide — a ring-shaped chain of seven amino acids. It belongs to the melanocortin peptide family and was originally derived from the earlier research compound Melanotan II through metabolic modification. PT-141 was first described in the early 2000s. Its structure includes a lactam bridge — a cyclic bond formed between amino acid side chains — which constrains the molecule into a ring shape, a structural feature common among melanocortin peptides.
The compound has the molecular formula C50H68N14O10, a molecular weight of 1,025.2 g/mol, and a CAS number of 189691-06-3. It is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder that dissolves readily in water. Structurally, PT-141 differs from its parent compound Melanotan II in that it lacks the linear N-terminal extension, making it a smaller, cyclized fragment. It is classified within the melanocortin receptor ligand family (MC1R through MC5R).

Third time ordering PT-141 from here. Excellent lyophilized powder, no clumping, and reconstitutes perfectly. Customer service responded quickly to my shipping question too
Linda skyrock –
Fast turnaround and secure packaging. PT-141 works as expected in our in vivo models. No degradation or potency loss compared to other suppliers. Will be a repeat customer for sure
Whitmore –
I’ve tested multiple batches now great solubility and stability. PeptidesVital offers fair pricing and genuine products. The free shipping over $200 is a huge bonus for labs ordering in bulk
Emily Rodriguez –
