PT-141
Melanocortin Agonist
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic melanocortin peptide derived from Melanotan II. Unlike other compounds in this class, PT-141 acts centrally on the nervous system via melanocortin receptors. It has been studied for its effects on sexual function and arousal pathways.
Available Sizes
Mechanism of Action
Activates MC3R and MC4R receptors in the central nervous system, particularly in the hypothalamus. This central mechanism is distinct from PDE5 inhibitors, which act peripherally. MC4R activation in the CNS is associated with modulation of sexual arousal pathways.
Research Highlights
- Central nervous system melanocortin receptor agonist
- MC3R and MC4R activation in hypothalamic pathways
- Studied for sexual arousal and dysfunction research
- Distinct mechanism from PDE5 inhibitors — central vs. peripheral
