PT-141 (Bremelanotide) – Research Peptide
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike vasoactive compounds, PT-141 exerts its activity centrally by stimulating melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the brain.
Research Context
Research has focused on PT-141’s interaction with hypothalamic melanocortin circuits involved in sexual arousal, appetite regulation, and autonomic nervous system responses. It has been investigated in models examining central nervous system modulation of reproductive behavior and vascular responses.
