Bremelanotide Acetate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bremelanotide (PT-141) Acetate is a melanocortin receptor agonist. Bremelanotide Acetate can activate MC4R and increases dopamine release. Bremelanotide Acetate induces appetitive sexual behaviors, female mounting behavior, and repetitive self-grooming. Bremelanotide Acetate can be used for the research of hypoactive sexual desire disorders.

MC3R |
MC4R |
Bremelanotide (10−3-105 nM) Acetate binds to MC3R and MC4R in a concentration-dependent manner[3].
Bremelanotide Acetate induces cAMP accumulation in cell-free assays with EC50 values of 0.4 nM for MC3R and 0.2 nM for MC4R[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Bremelanotide (0.01-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) Acetate induces dose-dependent repetitive grooming behavior in male and female mice, with 1 mg/kg being the lowest effective grooming dose that does not cause anxiety-like behavior[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (92.15 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : ≥ 50 mg/mL (46.07 mM)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture and light, under nitrogen). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (1.92 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (1.92 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
