Across the two RECONNECT Phase 3 trials in 1,267 premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, desire scores rose 0.30 and 0.42 above placebo over 24 weeks.

PT-14110 mg
Melanocortin receptor agonist, studied for libido and sexual response. Research compound. Lyophilized powder for reconstitution.
What it is
PT-141 is bremelanotide, a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide and an active metabolite of the melanocortin analogue Melanotan II. It is a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with activity at MC1R, MC3R and MC4R. It appears in sexual medicine research, where it has been through two Phase 3 trials in premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

How it works
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a melanocortin receptor agonist studied in libido and sexual response research.
Acts in the brain
PT-141 activates melanocortin-4 receptors in the central nervous system rather than acting on blood flow.
A central pathway
Research frames the compound as acting on desire itself, upstream of the vascular mechanisms other agents target.
Studied in trials
Bremelanotide has been examined in clinical trials for sexual response in both male and female subjects.
Key benefits
- Melanocortin research focused on libido and sexual response.
- Protocols studying desire and arousal in both men and women.
- Studied as a centrally acting option, not a vascular one.
Laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.
What published research is studying
Human clinical data- Sexual desire and desire-related distress in premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (two Phase 3 trials)
- Durability of response and adverse events across an open-label extension
- Subjective arousal and desire in premenopausal women with female sexual arousal disorder
- Erectile response in men who did not respond to a PDE5 inhibitor
Human evidence is substantial for the female desire indication, with two randomised placebo-controlled Phase 3 trials and an open-label extension. Average effect sizes on desire scales were modest.
Key research findings and references
Key research findings
In the same trials, desire-related distress fell relative to placebo by 0.37 in study 301 (P<.001) and 0.29 in study 302 (P=.005). Nausea, flushing and headache were each reported by 10% or more.
Kingsberg SA et al., Obstet Gynecol 2019In the open-label extension, 684 participants continued and 272 completed it, with change in the Female Sexual Function Index desire domain from baseline ranging from 1.25 to 1.30.
Simon JA et al., Obstet Gynecol 2019In a randomized study of 342 men who had not responded to sildenafil, 33.5% of the bremelanotide group met the response criterion versus 8.5% on placebo (P=0.03).
Safarinejad MR, Hosseini SY, J Urol 2008Published study duration
- RECONNECT Phase 3 trials: a 4-week qualification period, a 4-week baseline period, then 24 weeks of double-blind treatment (NCT02333071).
- Open-label extension: continued after the 24-week core phase in 684 participants (Simon et al. 2019).
- Female sexual arousal disorder study: a double-blind crossover with laboratory sessions in 18 participants (Diamond et al. 2006).
Research endpoints
- Female Sexual Function Index desire domain score
- Female Sexual Distress Scale item on being bothered by low desire
- Erectile-function response rate in the sildenafil non-responder study
- Reported adverse events including nausea and flushing
- Vaginal photoplethysmography response in the arousal study
