PT-141
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide belonging to the melanocortin peptide family. It was derived from the research compound Melanotan II and first described in the early 2000s. The molecule features a lactam bridge — a cyclic bond between amino acid side chains — that constrains it into a ring shape. It has the molecular formula C50H68N14O10, a weight of 1,025.2 g/mol, and CAS number 189691-06-3. Classified as a melanocortin receptor ligand, it is structurally related to compounds in the MC1R through MC5R family. Supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder, soluble in water.

+ ENDO PASSEDOverview
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).
