PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide derived from Melanotan II, studied for its effects on the central nervous system. Unlike therapies that target vascular pathways, it acts on neural signaling related to sexual desire and arousal. Researchers have examined PT-141 in both men and women for its potential role in sexual function and behavioral response in controlled settings.
