Werkingsmechanisme

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.

Terlipressin

Terlipressin is slowly converted in the body to lysine-vasopressin by cleavage of the three N-terminal glycyl residues (reservoir effect) and activates V1 receptors. The splanchnic vasoconstriction improves renal perfusion in hepatorenal syndrome.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Bremelanotide and Terlipressin?: Bremelanotide is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Terlipressin is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". 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. Terlipressin: Terlipressin is a 12-amino-acid vasopressin analog and prodrug of lysine-vasopressin. As a V1 receptor agonist it is vasoconstrictive and is approved for hepatorenal syndrome (FDA 2022, Terlivaz). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Bremelanotide or Terlipressin?: The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Bremelanotide and "Humane RCT" for Terlipressin. 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 Terlipressin in Germany and the United States?: Duitsland: Bremelanotide — Niet goedgekeurd, Terlipressin — Op recept. Verenigde Staten: Bremelanotide — Op recept, Terlipressin — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
