what each one is
PT-141
Synthetic cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin agonist
PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the melanocortin family, structurally related to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and to the earlier research analog Melanotan II. Verve supplies it as a high-purity research compound for laboratory melanocortin-receptor research.

Synthetic heptapeptide
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, a seven-amino-acid chain built from the endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension added to increase stability. Verve supplies it as a high-purity research compound for neuroscience and peptide-signaling research.
