Buy PT-141 Peptide in Australia
Buy PT-141 in Australia from Macropus Peptides as a 10mg lyophilised research vial. PT-141, known by the name bremelanotide, is a cyclic seven residue melanocortin peptide that differs from Melanotan II only at its end, a free acid in place of an amide. That change shifts its activity towards the MC4 and MC3 receptors, which are concentrated in the brain, and it is used in receptor binding, cyclic AMP and central melanocortin pathway research. The vial has a fixed price and is ready to order. It is sealed and labelled with compound, strength, lot number and storage temperature, with a certificate of analysis for each lot. Order online with bacteriostatic water and we send it from our Australian shelves to any Australian address. A nasal spray is listed separately. For in-vitro research by adults only, not for human or veterinary use.

Buy PT-141 Australia: 10mg Vial
Macropus Peptides supplies this melanocortin agonist as a single 10mg freeze-dried vial with a set price, for laboratories in Australia studying central melanocortin receptors. The powder form keeps best in the freezer, and one strength keeps ordering and record keeping simple. The same peptide is also listed ready-mixed as a nasal spray and inside a starter kit with diluent and consumables.
PT-141 Australia: what the peptide is
PT-141 is the development code for bremelanotide, a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide, Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH. It has exactly the ring and amino acids of Melanotan II, but ends in a free carboxylic acid where its parent carries an amide. It emerged from the same line of alpha-MSH analogue research as a deliberate variant of that parent. Its molecular formula is C50H68N14O10, and the loss of the amide gives the chain one more negative charge at neutral pH than the parent, a small difference that measurably changes how it sits in the receptor pocket. Bremelanotide was later approved as a medicine in the United States in 2019. It has no registration in Australia, where our vials are supplied only as research material.
PT-141 peptide: how the MC4R agonist works in research
Like other melanocortin agonists, the peptide activates receptors that couple to Gs protein and raise cyclic AMP. Its profile differs from its parent: activity is concentrated at MC4R and MC3R, the two melanocortin receptors most abundant in the brain, with weaker action at the others. MC4R sits at the centre of hypothalamic melanocortin signalling, a system reviewed in Endocrine Reviews in 2006 for its roles in energy balance and other functions. Researchers use this free-acid analogue to study MC4R and MC3R binding and activation, to compare it directly with the amide parent, and to probe central melanocortin pathways in rodent models. Standard set-ups include displacement of a radiolabelled NDP-MSH tracer from membranes carrying a single receptor subtype, cyclic AMP accumulation in transfected HEK293 cells, and side-by-side runs against SHU9119, the MC3R and MC4R antagonist built on the same cyclic scaffold.
PT-141 research: what the studies show
Its target receptors were among those first cloned in the family described by Science in 1992. The cyclic lactam scaffold it inherits dates from a 1989 Journal of Medicinal Chemistry paper. A 2006 review in Peptides explains how the free-acid form was selected from that series and taken into clinical study, and the same year Endocrine Reviews summarised what was known of melanocortin receptor physiology. Two phase 3 trials, published together in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2019, supported the United States approval that year. Designs and models for every entry are set out in the PT-141 research studies library.
PT-141 vial specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Compound | PT-141 |
| Amount | 10 mg |
| Form | Lyophilised powder |
| Category | Melanocortin research |
| Storage | -20 °C, protect from light |
Bremelanotide sits in the vial as a white lyophilised solid of roughly 1,025 g/mol, closed with a stopper and crimp. Its label shows compound, 10mg fill, lot and freezer storage. Protect it from light as well as heat, because the tryptophan in the ring is prone to photo-oxidation. The matching certificate of analysis is released against the lot.
PT-141 price in Australia: one strength, one figure
| Strength | Price | Price per mg |
|---|---|---|
| PT-141 10mg | $109.99 | $11.00 per mg |
With one strength there is one Australian dollar price, and a milligram costs a tenth of it however many vials you take. The PT-141 starter kit costs a little more and adds diluent (3 mL), a pack of ten 0.5 mL syringes and twenty swabs, which suits a lab placing its first melanocortin order. When a study compares this peptide with its amide parent, ordering both in one checkout means both arrive and can be reconstituted together.
PT-141 10mg: the vial to order
The 10mg vial is enough for a series of MC4R and MC3R binding or signalling experiments on one lot. Reconstituted in 2 mL, bremelanotide sits at 5 mg/mL; in 4 mL, 2.5 mg/mL. Smaller working solutions are then prepared from that stock. At about 1,025 g/mol, 5 mg/mL is close to 4.9 millimolar, so two thousandfold steps take it from stock to the low nanomolar range used on binding plates. Twenty aliquots of 0.1 mL from a 2 mL stock each hold 0.5mg, which lets one vial cover a month of runs without the stock being warmed repeatedly.
PT-141 vial or nasal spray: the right format to buy
We list the peptide in two formats. The lyophilised vial is for laboratories that prepare their own stock solutions and want dry powder for long frozen storage. The nasal spray is a separate product supplied in solution, 10mg in 10 mL or 1 mg/mL, which is five times weaker than the vial made up with 2 mL, and the starter kit packs the vial with water and consumables.

Ten milligrams divided by the chosen volume gives the stock:
- 1 mL: 10 mg/mL
- 2 mL: 5 mg/mL
- 2.5 mL: 4 mg/mL

The listing calculator converts other volumes into mg/mL and mcg/mL. Order bacteriostatic water 10mL alongside the vial; other consumables sit in lab supplies.
Is PT-141 available in Australia
As a research chemical, yes. No bremelanotide product holds an ARTG entry, so it may not be supplied here for human or veterinary use, and our vials are sold for in-vitro study only. Unregistered peptide scheduling comes from the TGA's Poisons Standard, which is updated regularly, so check its current terms before ordering.
