Biochem/physiol Actions
Bremelanotide (PT-141) is a brain-penetrant, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-derived cyclic heptapeptide agonist toward melanocortin receptors, including MC1R, MC3R and MC4R (affinty = 10 nM by competitive binding against 0.2 nM NDP-α-MSH using human MC4R-expressing HEK-293). Bremelanotide induces cAMP accumulation in hMC4R-expressing HEK-293 cells and exhibits in vivo sexual arousal efficacy among both male (50 μg/kg intranasally or 50-500 pg/kg via lateral ventricle injection) and female rats (100-200 μg/kg sc or 800 μg/kg via lateral ventricle injection) by activating neurons in brain regions responsible for sexual function.

Bremelanotide is an analogue of the naturally occurring peptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It stimulates erection in men and male rats, and is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. To review the effects of bremelanotide, an analogue

Hypothalamic neuropeptides centrally modulate sexual arousal. However, the role of neuropeptides in peripheral arousal has been ignored. Vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle relaxation in the vagina is important for female sexual arousal. To date, in vitro studies have focused on

PT-141, a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-MSH, is an agonist at melanocortin receptors including the MC3R and MC4R, which are expressed primarily in the central nervous system. Administration of PT-141 to rats and nonhuman primates results in penile erections. Systemic
