PT-141
Melanocortin Receptor Agonist
A synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-MSH that acts on melanocortin receptors centrally.
Overview
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike PDE5 inhibitors, PT-141 acts centrally through melanocortin receptors to influence sexual function. Research has investigated its effects on sexual arousal pathways.
Research Information
Research on PT-141 has demonstrated its ability to activate melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the central nervous system. Studies have investigated its effects on sexual arousal and function in both male and female animal models. Research has explored its mechanism of action through central nervous system pathways.
