Description
PT-141 is a synthetic peptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that functions as a melanocortin receptor agonist, with affinity for central melanocortin receptors, particularly MC3 and MC4. These receptors are part of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) signaling systems known to influence motivated behaviors within hypothalamic and limbic circuits. Unlike peripherally acting agents, PT-141 operates through central nervous system pathways, specifically targeting brain regions involved in sexual motivation and desire-related behaviors.
