Melanocortin System Modulating Peptide
🧬 Research-Grade Compound
Overview
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide derived from the melanocortin family, widely studied for its central action in the nervous system, especially its interaction with melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R).
Unlike compounds with peripheral or direct hormonal action, PT-141 is of scientific interest due to its neuromodulatory mechanism, being the subject of studies in neuroscience, behavior, brain signaling, and human physiology.
What is PT-141?
PT-141 is a cyclic peptide developed from structural modifications of α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). These modifications confer greater stability and affinity for specific receptors of the melanocortin system, mainly MC3R and MC4R, which are strongly expressed in the central nervous system.
Mechanism of Action (Scientific Basis)
At the molecular and neurological level, PT-141 acts through:
• Activation of melanocortin receptors in the CNS
• Modulation of central neuronal circuits
• Influence on dopaminergic and autonomic pathways
• Nitric oxide-independent action
• Direct brain-behavior communication
This profile makes PT-141 unique among the peptides studied, due to its non-hormonal central action.
Main Research Areas
PT-141 is investigated in experimental studies related to:
• Neuroscience and brain signaling
• Human behavior
• Melanocortin system
• Autonomic regulation
• Neuroendocrine communication
• Motivational processes and neural response
Its direct action in the brain positions it as a compound of high academic interest.
