The discovery of melanocortin compounds' pro-erectile effects dates back to mid-20th century research, which revealed increased sexual activity in animals following the administration of α-MSH. In the 1980s, interest in these agents surged when a test subject, experimenting with Melanotan-II (MT-II) as a tanning agent, accidentally induced an 8-hour erection. Unexpected result launched further studies into MC receptors as targets for erectile dysfunction treatment.
