Description PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that acts on melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system. Unlike other treatments for sexual dysfunction that work through vascular mechanisms, PT-141 operates through neural pathways in the brain to enhance sexual arousal and desire. It binds to melanocortin receptors MC3R and MC4R, which are involved in sexual motivation and response. PT-141 has been studied for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder in both men and women, offering an alternative approach when other treatments prove ineffective. Its unique mechanism of action makes it valuable for research into the neurological basis of sexual function and desire.
