PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist derived from Melanotan II. It is primarily studied for its effects on sexual arousal and libido enhancement in both male and female research subjects. Unlike traditional PDE5 inhibitors, PT-141 acts directly on the brain’s hypothalamic centers to stimulate sexual desire.
This peptide bypasses the vascular system and instead activates MC4R receptors in the central nervous system, which modulate arousal and sexual response. It is widely studied in the context of sexual dysfunction, particularly hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and erectile function.
