Bremelanotide Sulfonate

Bremelanotide Sulfonate is the sulfonate salt form of Bremelanotide (PT-141), a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin receptor agonist. This modified salt form offers improved stability and aqueous solubility compared to the acetate form, making it preferred for certain research formulations. Like standard PT-141, Bremelanotide Sulfonate activates melanocortin receptors (particularly MC3R and MC4R) in the central nervous system, and has been extensively studied for its effects on sexual arousal, desire, and related neurological pathways. The original compound was FDA-approved in 2019 as Vyleesi for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
