At the contract manufacturing facility, the majority of staff could stay on until previous commitments to customers are fulfilled near the end of this year, Belt said.

"It is still our intent to sell the manufacturing facility, and we hope that this is done in such a way that a buyer would keep it as an ongoing business," Belt said.

"We have no specific update to provide on the progress of the efforts to find a buyer." Matt Smith, vice president of the Snohomish County Economic Development Council, said he's offered his assistance to Lilly in that effort.

He said Lilly seems serious in keeping the operation going under a new owner.

"They realize the longer it is until they sell it, the more talent they'll lose there, so it's in their interest to find a buyer sooner rather than later," Smith said.

True, the drug enhanced engorgement of vaginal tissue, just as it had of the penis, but that extra bit of pelvic swelling did nothing to amplify women's desire for or enjoyment of sex.

What is needed for the treatment of so-called female hypoactive sexual desire disorder, researchers decided, is a reasonably safe and effective drug that acts on the central nervous system, on the pleasure centers of the brain or the sensory circuitry that serves them.

For a while, many sex therapists and doctors were optimistic about Procter & Gamble's Intrinsa, a testosterone patch that delivers small transdermal pulses of the sex hormone thought to play a crucial if poorly understood role in male and female libido alike.

But in 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration refused to approve Intrinsa, declaring that its medical risks outweighed whatever modest and spotty benefits it might offer.

More recently, another potentially promising treatment for hypoactive desire has been making its way through clinical trials.

The compound, called bremelanotide, is a synthetic version of a hormone involved in skin pigmentation, and it was initially developed by Palatin Technologies of New Jersey as a potential tanning agent to help prevent skin cancer.

But when male college students participating in early safety tests began reporting that the drug sometimes gave them erections, the company began exploring bremelanotide'...
