Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I): where Q is a group of formula: These compounds inhibit cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate phosphodiesterases (cGMP PDEs). More notably, the compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of the type 5 cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate phosphodiesterases and have utility therefore in a variety of therapeutic areas. In particular, the present compounds are of value for the curative or prophylactic treatment of mammalian sexual disorders.

Abstract: A method of treating an individual is described. The method comprise delivering to the individual an agent that is capable of modulating an intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium (IKCa) channel in the sexual genitalia of the individual; wherein the modulation of the IKCa channel by the agent is capable of mediating a relaxation of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle tone. The agent may be admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or exicipient.

Abstract: The compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of faintness attacks, hypokinesia, cranial disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, depression, anxiety, panic, neuropathic pain, neuropathological disorders and sleep disorders.
