About PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
PT-141 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) that binds to melanocortin receptors, particularly MC-3 and MC-4. It has been studied for its potential in modulating sexual arousal and behavior through central nervous system pathways, without directly affecting the vascular system like PDE5 inhibitors. Research has also explored its effects on mood, appetite, and skin pigmentation.
