I suspect these folks might be the ones to ask. This is an excerpt
from Pherin Pharmaceutical's web site, at
http://www.pherin.com/techno.html

"The term "vomeropherin" refers to substances that have a
physiological or pharmacological effect as a consequence of binding to
receptors in the human vomeronasal organ. For example, mammalian
pheromones are naturally occurring, species-specific vomeropherins.

The various functions of the hypothalamus define the possible
indications for treatment with vomeropherins. Pherin?s intellectual
property portfolio includes composition of matter (novel compounds)
and methods of use patents covering over 1,000 vomeropherins, genes
encoding VNO receptors and pharmaceutical applications of
vomeropherins."

They did cite a fair set of references at the bottom of that page as well.
