List of investigational sexual dysfunction drugs

Last updated

This is a list of investigational sexual dysfunction drugs, or drugs that are currently under development for clinical use for the treatment of sexual dysfunction but are not yet approved. Sexual function disorders include anorgasmia, atrophic vaginitis (vaginal atrophy), decreased libido, dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), erectile dysfunction, female sexual dysfunction (female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD)/hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSSD)), male sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, vulvodynia (vulva pain), paraphilias, and hypersexuality, among others.

Contents

Chemical/generic names are listed first, with developmental code names, synonyms, and brand names in parentheses. The format of list items is "Name (Synonyms) – Mechanism of Action – Indication [Reference]". The section that the drug is in corresponds to its highest developmental phase, not its phase for all listed indications.

This list was last comprehensively updated in January 2026. It is likely to become outdated with time.

PMID   35430926. Ovoca Bio (Dublin, Ireland) is currently developing Orenetide (BP-101), a novel synthetic peptide, as a potential nasal spray for first-in-class treatment to stimulate sexual motivation [88]. Experimental placebo-controlled data showed that acute intranasal BP101 administration moderately increased the frequency of solicitations, an indicator of sexual motivation in female rats, by acting within the hypothalamus under different hormonal conditions [93]. A Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is ongoing in New Zealand and Australia to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of different doses of BP101 in premenopausal women with HSDD [89].
