What is PT-141 (Bremelanotide)?
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide analog of α-MSH that has been studied in preclinical models for its ability to modulate sexual arousal and libido. Unlike other compounds that act on the vascular system, PT-141 is believed to act directly through the central nervous system via melanocortin receptors.
Mechanism of Interest
PT-141 primarily targets the MC3R and MC4R melanocortin receptors in the brain, which are associated with sexual behavior, arousal, and mood. It has been studied in models exploring sexual dysfunction, especially where psychological or neurological pathways are involved.
Why Researchers Study PT-141
- Explored for its potential to enhance libido and sexual arousal via neurological pathways
- Studied as an alternative to vasodilator-based interventions for sexual dysfunction
- Considered in both male and female preclinical sexual health models
