Meccanismo d'azione
Bremelanotide
Bremelanotide is a cyclic peptide that binds non-selectively to melanocortin receptors (MC1R through MC5R) — with highest affinity at MC4R in the central nervous system. The precise role of MC4R activation in sexual behaviour is not fully understood; animal data show effects on hypothalamic circuits. Peripheral effects (blood pressure, hyperpigmentation) are attributed to MC1R/MC2R.
Sekretin
Secretin binds the Gs-coupled secretin receptor (SCTR) on pancreatic duct cells, opens CFTR chloride channels and triggers secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid and bile flow.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Bremelanotide and Sekretin?
- Bremelanotide is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Sekretin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Bremelanotide: Synthetic cyclic heptapeptide acting as a non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonist. FDA-approved in 2019 as Vyleesi for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in pre-menopausal women. Sekretin: Secretin is a 27-amino-acid hormone that regulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. As ChiRhoStim it is FDA-approved as a diagnostic agent (pancreatic function test, gastrinoma test, secretin-enhanced MRCP). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Bremelanotide or Sekretin?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Bremelanotide and "Studio sull'uomo" for Sekretin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Bremelanotide and Sekretin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Bremelanotide — Non approvato, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Bremelanotide — Su prescrizione, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
