514/263.1, Purine (including hydrogenated)544/224, The six-membered hetero ring consists of two nitrogens and four carbons (e.g., 1,2-diazines, etc.)544/2421,3-diazines
A method of treating a female suffering from FSD, in particular FSAD, is described. The method comprises delivering to the female an agent that is capable of potentiating cAMP in the sexual genitalia; wherein the agent is in an amount to cause potentiation of cAMP in the sexual genitalia of the female. The agent may be admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.
