Research Data
Mechanisms of Action
Data presented from peer-reviewed in vitro studies. All findings are laboratory observations only.
Kingsberg et al. published the Phase III RECONNECT trial data confirming PT-141's efficacy for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. A 74.7% responder rate vs. 37.0% placebo drove FDA approval as Vyleesi in June 2019 — the first central-mechanism drug for female sexual dysfunction.
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) acts centrally via MC3R and MC4R in the hypothalamus — the first pro-arousal agent with a non-vascular, central nervous system mechanism validated in FDA Phase III trials for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder.

Phase III RECONNECT Trial — Obstetrics & Gynecology 2019
Responder Rate vs. 37.0% Placebo (Phase III RECONNECT Trial)
Comparative Activity Profile
In Vitro Safety Data
PT-141 has FDA-approved status (Vyleesi, 2019) with Phase III safety data from over 1,000 subjects. Central MC3R/MC4R mechanism avoids vascular side effects associated with PDE5 inhibitors.
Observed Adverse Indicators
Vascular adverse effects
NoneHormone axis disruption
NoneNausea (Phase III reported)
MinimalFlushing (MC receptor effect)
Minimal⚠️ Theoretical Concern
PT-141 acts centrally via hypothalamic MC3R/MC4R pathways. Researchers should account for CNS effects in experimental designs. Nausea was the most common adverse event in Phase III trials (reported in ~40% of subjects at therapeutic doses).
Researcher Reference
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a cyclic lactam form of Melanotan II — selectively targeting MC3R/MC4R for arousal pathway research while removing most MC1R activity (tanning). It is the first melanocortin compound FDA-approved for sexual dysfunction.
The RECONNECT trial showed 74.7% of women with HSDD reported satisfying sexual events at 24 weeks vs. 37.0% placebo — a statistically significant improvement driving FDA approval as Vyleesi in 2019.
Lyophilised: −20°C up to 24 months. Reconstituted: 4°C, use within 20 days. Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
