摘要: Methods for treating sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction or arousal disorder, with a compound having the generic formula X1—X2-(D)Phe-Arg-(D)Trp-X3. A particularly useful is HP-228, which has Ac-Nle-Gln-His-(D)Phe-Arg-(D)Trp-Gly-NH2. The invention also provides methods selecting melanocortin receptor-3 ligands by determining whether modulates activity of MC-3 an agonist antagonist. These can be used to screen libraries treat MC-3-associated conditions. Such conditions include including and disorder.
