Peptide record
Peptide record
PT-141 is a Neuropeptide.
This Peptide is FDA-approved for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women and is studied for sexual dysfunction in other populations, increasing sexual desire via CNS melanocortin pathways42101
PT-141 is the synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist bremelanotide, an analog of α-MSH that activates central MC3R and MC4R to modulate neuronal circuits governing sexual desire and arousal3242101
PT-141 is a Neurotransmitter modulator.
Melanocortin receptors, with highest functional relevance at MC4R and MC3R; also binds MC1R and MC5R3242
Cyclic melanocortin analog structurally related to α-MSH; often represented as a shortened, modified α-MSH sequence (exact residue sequence is available in specialist monographs) 42
