PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
One-Sentence Explanation
PT-141 is a peptide that enhances sexual arousal and libido by acting on the nervous system.
Detailed Explanation
PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide that works by activating melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system to increase sexual desire and arousal. Unlike PDE5 inhibitors (like Viagra), PT-141 acts on the brain rather than the vascular system and is effective for both men and women. It can be administered by injection or nasal spray and is used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and erectile dysfunction.
