PT-141
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-MSH that activates melanocortin receptors, particularly MC3R and MC4R. Unlike other libido compounds that work through vascular mechanisms, PT-141 acts on the central nervous system to enhance sexual arousal. Research has explored its applications in both male and female sexual dysfunction.
