What is with the British media recently? Another article that sounds like it comes from the tabloids and requiring independent research to see what real science says. Melanotan 2 may be an anti-aging drug, I can quickly find one report on it. Melanotan 2 (Palatin�) is an alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) analogue. In animals MSH regulates penile erection, sexual motivation and the secretion of sexual attractants (in rat studies). In a preliminary study in humans, it led to erection without sexual stimulation and increased desire. Side-effects were nausea and yawning, (Wessels H et al Melanocortin receptor agonists, penile erection, and sexual motivation: human studies with melanotan 11. 2000 Int J Impotence Res;12:S74-9 ). Interesting. It might be a "Barbie" drug. Like going out with a stereotypical Valley Girl, it could get a male excited, nauseous, and yawning.
