Drug May Offer Aphrodisiac for Women

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A drug that seems to drive female rats mad for sex may offer the first real scientific aphrodisiac for women, U.S. and Canadian researchers said on Monday.

The drug, Palatin Technologies Inc's PT-141, is being developed for use to fight impotence in men, but the researchers said tests showed it also aroused female rats.

"Accordingly, PT-141 may be the first identified pharmacological agent with the capability to treat female sexual desire disorders," they wrote in their report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (news - web sites).

James Pfaus of Concordia University in Montreal, Canada and colleagues there and at Palatin tested the drug on female rats and found it affected their mating behavior.
