How Does PT-141 Work?

PT-141 influences sexual behavior

PT-141 is a nonselective agonist of the melanocortin receptors, which means that it binds to these receptors and induces a similar effect. In the brain, PT-141 influences sexual behavior. How exactly it works is currently unknown. One theory is that it stimulates dopamine release from the medial preoptic area in the brain, an area of the brain associated with sexual behavior.
