About the compound
Cyclic α-MSH(4-10) analog with an Asp5–Lys10 lactam bridge and a free-acid C-terminus. C₅₀H₆₈N₁₄O₁₀, MW 1025.17 Da.
PT-141 is a cyclic heptapeptide with the sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH. The Asp5–Lys10 lactam bridge constrains the α-MSH(4-10) pharmacophore. Empirical formula C₅₀H₆₈N₁₄O₁₀; MW 1025.17 Da (PubChem CID 9941844).
Reconstitution. For in-vitro laboratory handling, dissolve with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Compound is hygroscopic — handle in low-humidity conditions and re-cap immediately.
Stability profile. Lyophilized: stable at room temperature for up to 30 days sealed; long-term storage at -20 °C recommended. Reconstituted material: stable at 2–8 °C for up to 14 days.
