PT-141

Research compound supplied in Australia by Pulse Biolabs for laboratory use. Available in 10mg.

Pulse Research // 029  ·  Cyclic melanocortin receptor agonist

Most sexual-function medicines act on blood vessels. PT-141 is studied because it acts on receptors in the brain instead, and one formulation became a registered medicine.

PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic seven-amino-acid peptide derived from alpha-MSH that activates melanocortin receptors, including MC4R in the brain. It is studied because it addresses the central, desire-related side of sexual response rather than blood flow. Evidence includes randomised phase 3 trials in premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, the basis of a US approval limited to that group; the clinical mechanism is described by the regulator as unknown.
