Alpha-1-adrenergic receptors are G-protein coupled transmembrane receptors that mediate various actions of the sympathetic nervous system through the binding of the catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine (NE). Currently, several subtypes of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors are known to exist for which the genes have been cloned: alpha-lA (previously known as alpha-lC), alpha-lB and alpha-lD.

Alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonists have been shown in numerous clinical studies to be ef- fective in relieving the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an illness typically affecting men over fifty.

The symptoms of the condition include, but are not limited to, increased difficulty in urination and sexual dysfunction. Drugs such as prazosin, indoramin, doxazosin and tamsulosin are in common clinical use for BPH, and are effective in reducing both "obstructive"symptoms (e. g. weak stream) and"irritative"symptoms (e. g. nocturia, urinary urge and frequency). However, these compounds are all non-subtype-selective and have the potential to cause significant side-effects, particularly cardiovascular effects such as postural hypotension, dizziness, and syncope, and CES effects such such aesthenia (tiredness). These effects can limit dosing and the clinical efficacy in reducing symptoms associated with BPH.

Pharmacological studies resulting in the subdivision of alpha-1 adrenoceptors into alpha- 1A, alpha-1B, and alpha-lD adrenoceptors have led to the suggestion that development of subtype-selective antagonists may allow for an improved symptomatic treatment of BPH with a lower incidence of dose-limiting side-effects. Recently, much interest has been focused on the role of the alpha-1A adrenoceptor subtype in BPH, as studies have shown that this subtype predominates in the urethra and prostate of man and appears to

be the receptor mediating NE-induced smooth muscle contraction in these tissues. See, e. g. , Price et al., J. Urol. 150: 546-551 (1993); Faure et al., Life Sci. 54: 1595-1605 (1994); Taniguchi et al. , Naunyn Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. 355: 412-416 (1997) ; Forray et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 45: 703-708 (1994); Hatano et al. , Br. J. Pharmacol. 113: 723-728 (1994); and Marshall et al., Br J. Pharmacol. 115: 781-786 (1995). Smooth muscle tone is believed to contribute substantially to the total urinary outflow obstruction observed in patients with BPH [Furuya et al. , J. Urol. 128: 836-839 (1982)]. Increased prostate mass is also a contributing factor. These observations have fuelled the hypothesis that an alpha- 1A subtype-selective antagonist may, via a selective and significant decrease in outlet resistance, lead to improved pharmacotherapy for BPH.

However, in BPH, it is often the irritative symptoms which prompt the patient to seek treatment, and these irritative symptoms may be present in patients with no demonstrable obstruction (i. e. normal urine flow rates). Thus, it would be advantageous to provide a therapy for treating patients exhibiting obstructive symptoms and/or irritative symptoms. It is believed that reduction of obstructive and irritative symptoms in patients with BPH may be achieved via a combination of alpha-lA and alpha-lB subtype selectivity in a drug molecule. The lack of alpha-lD adrenoceptor antagonism is expected to lead to reduced or fewer side effects than those associated with the use of non-subtype-selective agents.

Such salts include: (1) acid addition salts, formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; or formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3- (4-hydroxybenzoyl) benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2- ethane-disulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 4- chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo [2.2. 2]-oct-2-ene-lcarboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4, 4'-methylenebis- (3-hydroxy-2-ene-l-carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, and the like; or (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e. g. , an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like.

The terms"pro-drug"and"prodrug"are used interchangeably herein and refer to any compound which releases an active parent drug according to Formula I in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of a compound of Formula I are prepared by modifying one or more functional group (s) present in the compound of Formula I in such a way that the modification (s) may be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs include compounds of Formula I wherein a hydroxy, amino, or sulfliydryl group in a compound of Formula I is bonded to any group that may be cleaved in vivo to regenerate the free hydroxyl, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, esters (e. g. acetate, dialkylaminoacetates, formates, phosphates, sulfates and benzoate derivatives) and carbamate of hydroxy functional groups (&g. N, N-dimethylcarbonyl), esters ofcarboxyl functional groups (e. g. ethyl esters, morpholinoethanol esters), N-acyi derivatives (&g. N- acetyl), N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases and enaminones of amino functional groups, oximes, acetals, ketals, and enol esters of ketones and aldehyde functional groups in compounds of Formula I, and the like.

The prodrug can be metabolized before absorption, during absorption, after absorption, or at a specific site. Although metabolism occurs for many compounds primarily in the liver, almost all other tissues and organs, especially the lung, are able to carry out varying

degrees of metabolism. Prodrug forms of compounds maybe utilized, e. g. , to improve bioavailability, improve subject acceptability such as by masking or reducing unpleasant characteristics such as bitter taste or gastrointestinal irritability, alter solubility such as for intravenous use, provide for prolonged or sustained release or delivery, improve ease of formulation, or provide site-specific delivery of the compound. Reference to a compound herein includes prodrug forms of a compound. Prodrugs are described, e. g., in The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, by Silverman, Academic Press, San Diego (1992), pp. 352-401; Design of Prodrugs, edited by Bundgaard, Elsevier Science, Amsterdam (1985); Design of Biopharmaceutical Properties through Prodrugs and Analogs, Ed. by Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington (1977); and Drug Delivery Systems, ed. by Juliano, Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford (1980).

"Solvate"means solvent addition form that contains either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate.

If the solvent is water the solvate formed is a hydrate, when the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate.

"Protecting group"refers to an atom or group of atoms that is attached to a reactive group in a molecule and masks, reduces, or prevents the activity of the group to which it is attached. Examples of protecting groups can be found in Green and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (Wiley, 2nd ed. 1991), and Harrison and Harrison et al., Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods, Vols. 1-8 (John Wiley and Sons, 1971- 1996). Representative amino protecting groups include formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ), tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), trimethyl silyl (TMS), 2- trimethylsilyl-ethanesulfonyl (SES), trityl and substituted trityl groups, allyloxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethylocal-bollyl (FMOC), nitro-veratryloxycarbollyl (and the like. Representative hydroxy protecting groups include those where the hydroxy group is either acylated or alkylated such as with benzyl or lower alkyl and trityl ethers as well as alkyl ethers, tetrahydropyranyl ethers, trialkylsilyl ethers, and allyl ethers.

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed"isomers." Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed"stereoisomers".

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed"diastereomers,"and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, e. g. , if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be

characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the (R) and (S) sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i. e., as (+) or (-) -isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either an individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing different enantiomers is called a"racemic mixture". The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R) -or (S) -stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures (racemic or otherwise) thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art [e. g. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Chap. 4,4th edition, John Wiley and Sons, New York (1992) ].

"Tautomers"refers to compounds whose structures differ markedly in arrangement of atoms, but which exist in easy and rapid equilibrium. It is to be understood that com- pounds of Formula I may be depicted as different tautomers. For example, compounds of Formula I wherein Z is-C (O)-, maybe depicted in the following tautomer forms Compounds of Formula I may also contain other groups that exist in tautomeric equilibrium. For example some of the compounds contain an imidazolin-2-yl amino group which may be in equilibrium with an imidazolin-2-ylidenamino group

It should also be understood that when compounds have tautomeric forms, all tautomeric forms are intended to be within the scope of the invention, and the naming of the compounds does not exclude any tautomer form.

"Treating"or"treatment"of a disease includes : (1) preventing the disease, i. e. , causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop in a mammal that may be exposed to or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease; (2) inhibiting the progression of the disease, i. e. , arresting or reducing the development of the disease or its symptoms ; and (3) relieving the disease, i. e. , causing regression of the disease or its symptoms.

"A therapeutically effective amount"means the amount of a compound that, when ad- ministered to a mammal for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect a treatment for the disease. The"therapeutically effective amount"will vary depending on such factors as the compound being administered, the type of disease being treated, the progression or severity of the disease state, and the age, weight, and general health of the mammal being treated.

"Patient"means mammals and non-mammals. Mammals means any member of the mammalia class including, but not limited to, humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees and other apes and monkey species ; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; and laboratory animals such as rats, mice, and guinea pigs. Examples of non-mammals include, but are not limited to, birds, reptiles, and the like.

"Pharmacological effect"as used herein encompasses effects produced in the patient that achieve the intended purpose of a therapy. In one preferred embodiment, a pharmacological effect means that primary indications of the patient being treated are prevented, alleviated, or reduced. For example, a pharmacological effect would be one that results in the prevention, alleviation or reduction of primary indications in a treated patient. In another preferred embodiment, a pharmacological effect means that disorders or symptoms of the primary indications of the patient being treated are prevented, alleviated, or reduced.

"Disease state"means any disease, condition, symptom, or indication.

"Disorders of the urinary tract"or"uropathy"refer to pathologic changes in the urinary tract and symptoms thereof Disorders of the urinary tract include overactive bladder (also known as detrusor hyperactivity), outlet obstruction, outlet insufficiency, pelvic

hypersensitivity, incontinence, benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, detrusor hyperreflexia, urinary frequency, nocturia, urinary urgency, pelvic hypersensitivity, urge incontinence, urethritis, prostatodynia, cystitis, and idiophatic bladder hypersensitivity.

"Overactive bladder"or"Detrusor hyperactivity"includes, but is not limited to, changes symptomatically manifested as urgency, frequency, reduced bladder capacity, and incon- tinence episodes; changes urodynamically manifested as changes in bladder capacity, micturition threshold, unstable bladder contractions, and sphincteric spasticity; and symptoms usually manifested in detrusor hyperreflexia (neurogenic bladder), in conditions such as outlet obstruction, outlet insufficency, pelvic hypersensitivity, or in idiopathic conditions such as detrusor instability.

"Outlet obstruction"includes, but is not limited to, benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral stricture disease, tumors and the like. It is usually symptomatically manifested as obstructive (low flow rates, difficulty in initiating urination, and the like), or irritative (urgency, suprapubic pain, and the like).

"Outlet insufficiency"includes, but is not limited to, urethra hypermobility, intrinsic sphincteric deficiency, or mixed incontinence. It is usually symptomatically manifested as stress incontinence.

"Pelvic Hypersensitivity"includes but is not limited to, pelvic pain, interstitial (cell) cystitis, prostadynia, prostatitis, vulvadynia, urethritis, orchidalgia, and the like. It is symptomatically manifested as pain, inflammation or discomfort referred to the pelvic region, and usually includes symptoms of overactive bladder.

"Sexual dysfunction"means the inability to achieve a normal sexual response and includes such conditions in males and females. Thus, it includes male erectile dysfunction (MED) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD).

"Disease states associated with the Central Nervous System (CNS)"or"CNS disease states"mean neurological and/or psychiatric changes in the CNS, e. g. , brain and spinal cord, which manifest in a variety of symptoms. Examples of CNS disease states include, but are not limited to, migraine headache; cerebrovascular deficiency ; psychoses including paranoia, schizophrenia, attention deficiency, and autism; obsessive/compulsive disorders including anorexia and bulimia; posttraumatic stress disorders, sleep disorders, convulsive disorders including epilepsy and withdrawal from addictive substances; cognitive diseases including Parkinson's disease and dementia; and

anxiety/depression disorders such as anticipatory anxiety (e. g. , prior to surgery, dental work and the like), depression, mania, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and convulsions and anxiety caused by withdrawal from addictive substances such as opiates, benzodiazepines, nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, and other substances of abuse; and improper thermoregulation.

The compounds of this invention demonstrate selectivity for the alpha-1A/B subtype over the alpha-ID subtype. The compounds of this invention may reduce both obstructive and irritative symptoms in patients with BPH. The attenuated antagonism of alpha 1D-adrenoceptor is expected to lead to reduced or fewer side effects than those associated with the use of non-subtype-selective agents.

Alpha-1 adrenoceptors mediate the contractile state of smooth muscle tissue and are pre- sent in the human prostate, bladder neck and urethra. Alpha-1 adrenoceptor stimulation also produces contraction of urethral and bladder neck smooth muscle, leading to in-

creased resistance in urinary outflow. Thus, alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonists may be useful in treating disorders of the urinary tract, as previously defined.

Alpha-lB adrenoceptors are present in the liver, heart and cerebral cortex and are believed to be involved in mediating vascular contractile and blood pressure responses.

Alpha-lB adrenoceptors are also present in areas of the spinal cord which receive input from sympathetic neurons originating in the pontine micturition center and are presumed to be involved in the regulation of bladder function. Additionally, alpha-lB adrenoceptor antagonists are useful as analgesic/antihyperalgesic therapies for treating pain, including symptoms of acute pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain (including thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia as well as thermal and mechanical allodynia), complex regional pain syndromes (including reflex sympathetic dystrophy, causalgia and sympathetically maintained pain and the like).

However, it must be noted that in BPH, it is often the irritative symptoms which prompt the patient to seek treatment, and that these irritative symptoms may be present even in patients with no demonstrable obstruction (i. e. normal urine flow rates). By combining both alpha-lA and alpha-lB subtype selectivity in a compound, a reduction of both ob- structive and irritative symptoms in patients with BPH may be achieved. Lower levels or lack of alpha-lD adrenoceptor antagonism should lead to reduced or fewer side effects than those associated with the use of non-subtype-selective agents.

In a preferred embodiment, the compounds of this invention are useful for treating dis- orders and symptoms which can be ameliorated by blockade of alpha 1A/B adrenoceptors, such as reduction or alleviation of urinary tract disorders, e. g. , pelvic hypersensitivity (including interstitial cystitis, prostatitis, pelvic pain syndrome, infectious cystitis, prostatodynia, and the like), overactive bladder, urinary frequency, nocturia, urinary urgency, detrusor hyperrenexia, outlet obstruction, BPH, prostatitis, urge incontinence, urethritis, idiophatic bladder hypersensitivity, sexual dysfunction, and the like.

In another preferred embodiment, the compounds of this invention are useful for treating disorders and symptoms which can be ameliorated by blockade of alpha-IA/B adrenoceptors, such as reduction or alleviation of pain disorders, e. g., inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, cancer pain, acute pain, chronic pain or complex regional pain syndromes.

In a more preferred embodiment, the compounds of this invention are useful for treating disorders and symptoms which can be ameliorated by blockade of both alpha-lA and alpha-lB adrenoceptors with diminished blockade of alpha-lD adrenoceptors, such as reduction or alleviation of both outlet obstruction, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, and irritative symptoms associated with it, such as pain.

In another preferred embodiment, the compounds of this invention are useful for the improvement of sexual dysfunction including male erectile dysfunction (MED) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD).

These and other therapeutic uses are described, for example, in Goodman & Gilman's, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, ninth edition, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1996, Chapter 26,601-616 ; and Coleman, Pharmacological Reviews 46: 205-229 (1994).

Formulations containing about one (1) to about 20 milligram of active ingredient or, more broadly, about 0. 01 to about one hundred (100) milligrams, per tablet, are accordingly suitable representative unit dosage forms.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated in a wide variety of oral ad- ministration dosage forms. The pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms may comprise a compound or compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as the active component. The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier may be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier generally is a finely divided solid which is a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component generally is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from about one (1) to about seventy (70) percent of the active compound. Suitable carriers include but are not limited to magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term"preparation"is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier, providing a capsule in which the active component, with or without carriers, is surrounded by a carrier, which is in association

with it. Similarly, cachets and lozenges are included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozenges may be as solid forms suitable for oral administration.

Other forms suitable for oral administration include liquid form preparations including emulsions, syrups, elixirs, aqueous solutions, aqueous suspensions, or solid form preparations which are intended to be converted shortly before use to liquid form preparations. Emulsions may be prepared in solutions, e. g. , in aqueous propylene glycol solutions or may contain emulsifying agents, e. g. , such as lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia. Aqueous solutions can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents. Aqueous suspensions can be prepared by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well known suspending agents. Solid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, and may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for parenteral administration (e. g., by injection, e. g. bolus injection or continuous infusion) and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, e. g. solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol. Examples of oily or nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils (e. g., olive oil), and injectable organic esters (e g., ethyl oleate), and may contain formulatory agents such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying or suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.

Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by lyophilisation from solution for constitution before use with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for topical administration to the epidermis as ointments, creams or lotions, or as a transdermal patch. Ointments and creams may, e. g. , be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or coloring agents.

Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising active agents in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth;

pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia ; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for administration as suppositories. A low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously, e. g. , by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and to solidify.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for vaginal administration.

Pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays may contain in addition to the active ingredient, such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

The compounds of the present invention maybe formulated for nasal administration.

The solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity by conventional means, e. g. , with a dropper, pipette or spray. The formulations may be provided in a single or multidose form. In the case of a dropper or pipette, dosing may be achieved by the patient administering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution or suspension. In the case of a spray, this may be achieved e. g. by means of a metering atomizing spray pump.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for aerosol administration, particularly to the respiratory tract and including intranasal administration. The com- pound will generally have a small particle size e. g. on the order of five (5) microns or less.

Such a particle size may be obtained by means known in the art, e. g. by micronization.

The active ingredient is provided in a pressurized pack with a suitable propellant such as a chloroftuorocarbon (CFC), e. g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane, or carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. The aerosol may con- veniently also contain a surfactant such as lecithin. The dose of drug may be controlled by a metered valve. Alternatively the active ingredients may be provided in a form of a dry powder, e. g. a powder mix of the compound in a suitable powder base such as lactose, starch, and starch derivatives such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP). The powder carrier will form a gel in the nasal cavity. The powder composition may be presented in unit dose form e. g. in capsules or cartridges of e. g, gelatin or blister packs from which the powder may be administered by means of an inhaler.

When desired, formulations can be prepared with enteric coatings adapted for sustained or controlled release administration of the active ingredient. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be formulated in transdermal or subcutaneous drug delivery devices. These delivery systems are advantageous when sustained release of the compound is necessary and when patient compliance with a treatment regimen is crucial. Compounds in transdermal delivery systems are frequently attached to a skin- adhesive solid support. The compound of interest can also be combined with a penetration enhancer, e. g. , azone (l-dodecylazacycloheptan-2-one). Sustained release delivery systems are inserted subcutaneously into the subdermal layer by surgery or injection. The subdermal implants encapsulate the compound in a lipid soluble membrane, e. g., silicone rubber, or a biodegradable polymer, e. g., polylactic acid.

The pharmaceutical preparations are preferably in unit dosage forms. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, such as packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.

NaOH). Then, to this reaction mixture, hydrogen is intro- duced either directly or indirectly (e. g., via transfer hydrogenation using formate salts, hydrazine, etc. ), and the nitro group is reduced to an amino group. The catalyst and support are removed, and the reaction mixture is neutralized by addition of acid (e. g. acetic, trifluoroacetic, hydrochloric acid, etc). The precipitated compound of formula (If) is then collected via filtration.

Compounds of formula (Ig) can be prepared by combining compounds of formula (If) in an organic solvent (methylene chloride, acetonitrile, etc) and a solution of iminium salt (4) [prepared by activation of the appropriate acetamide or formamide with

phosphorous oxychloride or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride as described by Fabio et al, J. Med. Chem. 21 : 273-276 (1978); Campbell et al, Tetrahedron Letters 25: 4813-4816 (1984), and Sforza et al, Tetrahedron Letters 39: 711-714 (1998)]. The reaction is quenched by the addition of water, cooled, and then the pH is adjusted to-8. 5 with a base (e. g. NaOH, KOH, etc). The aqueous layer is extracted with an organic solvent (e. g. methylene chloride), then the organic solvent is converted to an alcohol (e. g. isopropanol), heated, cooled then filtered to provide compounds of formula (Ig).

Quinazolin-4-ones (1) can be prepared as described in Cronin et al. , J. Med. Chem.

11: 130-136 (1968) or WO 02/053558 Al or using the method described in Scheme 3.

Scheme 3 Scheme 3 illustrates an alternate method for making 2-chloro-quinazolin-4-one com- pounds (1), used as starting material in Schemes 1 and 2.

Dione intermediate (5) is converted to dichloroquinazoline (6) by reacting (5) with phosphorous oxychloride in acetonitrile and heating the reaction mixture. The dichloroquinazoline (6) is isolated by quenching the reaction mixture into water and filtering the precipitated product, or by quenching the reaction mixture into a mixture of water and a water-immiscible solvent (e. g. methylene chloride), and extracting the product into the organic solvent. The solvent is evaporated to provide compound (6).

Compound (6) is then combined with a base (e. g., KOH, NaOH) in a mixture of water and a solvent like THF. At the end of the reaction, the organic solvent is partially removed by distillation, an acid (e. g. HOAc) is added, and the compound (1) is collected via filtration.

Dione intermediates (5) are commercially available or can be readily prepared by one skilled in the field, e. g. , as described in Mizuno et al. , Heteroatom Chemistry 11: 428-433 (2000); Mizuno et al. , Tetrahedron Letters 41: 1051-1051 (2000); US 6,376, 667; US 6, 048, 864 ; WO 97/23462; EP 775697-A1 ; and so forth.

Alternatively, dione intermediates (5) may be prepared as described in Scheme 4.

Scheme 4

Scheme 4 illustrates an alternative method for making of diones (5), used in Scheme 3 to prepare 2-chloro-quinazolin-4-one compounds (1).

Nitro-acids (8) are commercially available, or can be readily prepared by one skilled in the field from carboxylic acids (7) using several methods, including that of Kowalczyk et al. , Organic Process Research and Development 1: 355-358 (1997). Carboxylic acids (7) are commercially available.

Nitro acids (8) are dissolved in water by addition of base (e. g., NaOH, KOH, LiOH).

Typically, the amount of base used to dissolve the acids is in the range of a 1.3 to 1.5 molar equivalent, e. g. , at a pH > 12. A heterogenous catalyst on an inert support is added (e. g. , palladium on carbon), and the reaction mixture is exposed to a hydrogen atmosphere either directly (hydrogen gas) or indirectly (via transfer hydrogena. tion technique using, e. g., formate salts, hydrazine, etc., as the hydrogen source). The nitro- group is thereby converted to an amino group to provide compounds (9).

Compounds (9) can be converted to urea (10) by addition of a cyanate salt (e. g., KOCN, NaOCN) and an acid (e. g., HCI, HOAc). For this urea-forming step, the pH is preferably maintained in the range of 6.0 to 8.0, more preferably between 6.8 and 8.0. At pH greater than 8, the urea formation step may slow down, and when the pH is between 5.6 and 6.0, an undesirable side reaction may occur. Degradation occurs at lower pH, e. g. , at pH of ~ 3.9. The urea (10) is then cyclized to a dione derivative (5) by adding a base (e. g. , NaOH, KOH), wherein the pH is typically maintained at 12, and heating the reaction mixture.

The results of this cyclization step maybe improved as the pH is increased. The dione (5)

is precipitated by adding an acid (e. g., HCI, HOAc) to the reaction mixture, to achieve a pH of about less than 8. 2, more preferably in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, and the dione (5) may be isolated such as by filtration. Other acids also may be used, e. g. , any acid that will generate HOCN in-situ from the cyanate salt and the acid.

The process of Scheme 4 is particularly advantageous in that the water-insoluble com- pounds (8)- (5) are converted into water-soluble compounds by conversion to their res- pective salts (by addition of base) and then the pH is adjusted to allow the desired reaction to occur in a water-based solvent system.

To 45 mL nitroethane was added chlorosulfonylisocyanate (3 mL, 34 mmol). The solution was cooled to-70°C. A solution of trimethoxyaniline (4.5 g, 24.5 mmol) in nitroethane (15 mL) was added over 5 minutes. The temperature of the solution rose to- 64°C. The solution was removed from the ice bath and allowed to warm to-5°C while a heavy precipitate formed. In one portion, AlCl3 (5 g, 37.6 mmol) was added. The precipitate went into solution as the temperature rose to 25°C. The resulting solution was placed in a 110°C oil bath and stirred for 30 min. The resulting mixture was cooled to RT and poured into ice water. The aqueous layer was removed from the resulting black gum, which contained some of the desired material, as well as starting material and side products. The aqueous layer was shaken with EtOAc and the layers separated. The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo and the residue crystallized from a small amount of EtOAc to yield 6,7, 8-trimethoxybenzothiadiazine-3-one-1, 1-dioxide.

The resulting mixture was cooled to 5°C and NN-di- ethylaniline (2.6 mL, 20 mmol) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm to RT, and then heated at 80°C for 8 h. The solvent was removed by distillatiort under reduced pres- sure. The resulting syrup was poured into ice water. After rapid stirring the precipitate was filtered. The aqueous mother liquors were extracted with methylene chloride. The resulting organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, the drying agent removed by filtration and the solvent removed under reduced pressure, to afford 6,7, 8-trimethoxy-3-chloro- benzothiadiazine-3-1, 1-dioxide 920 mg.

Examples EXAMPLE L-1 The potency and selectivity of the inventive compounds as alA/B antagonists was deter- mined with CHO-K1 cells expressing adrenoceptor subtype α1A-215, α1B or alD by measuring cAMP accumulation using AlphaScreen.

Cell preparation was accomplished by culturing CHO-oc1 cloned cells in Ham's F12 nutrient media supplemented with 10% FBS and G418 (25mg/mL), harvested at 80% confluence, washed with warmed PBS x2, and detached with versene for 5 min. at 37°C.

The cultured cells were then resuspended in 40 mL of stimulation buffer (HBSS with 5 mM hepes, 0.1% BSA) and centrifuged at 500-100 rpm for 5 min. The obtained pellet was resuspended in stimulation buffer (with 0. 5M IBEX), and the cells were counted.

Cells were diluted to the desired number of cells/mL (clA at 3x106/mL, α1B 15x106/mL, and alD 20x106/mL).

The compounds being tested were diluted in stimulation buffer (with 0. 5M IBMX)2 from 10-5 to 10-11 (final) dilution, 11 points. 5 ul of each compound was dispensed to 96 well /2 area plates in triplicate. 5 p1 of stimulation buffer was dispensed to a norepinephrine (NE) plate. 101l1 of cells were added with anti-cAMP Acceptor beads in stimulation buffer to each plate and incubated for 15 min. at RT (in dark or covered with black plate). Then

5 , l of NE was added to the antagonist plates, at 1 u. M for alA and 1B and at 100nM for α1D, and then 5 p1 serial dilution of NE was added to NE plate. Plates were incubated for 30 min. at RT (in dark or covered with black plate) and 10 Ill Donor beads + biotin- cAMP in lysis buffer (5mM Hepes, 0.54% Tween-20,0. 1% BSA) was added. Plates were incubated for 3h. at RT with gentle shaking (in dark or covered with black plate). Plates were read on an AlphaScreen Fusion analyzer, using reagent pursuant to AlphaSreen cAMP detection kit (PerkinElmer Cat#6760600).

Reference compounds norepinephrine, prazosin and vehicle were run in every experiment. In each plate, on column 12, A-D were loaded with only cells to define total count and E-H were loaded with NE 1µM, (total-NE 1µM), to define 100% NE activity. The values determined for each experimental well on the plate were divided by (total count-NE 1 uM), to determine % of NE activity. All data was plotted using non- liner curve fitting by GraphPad Prism to get pEC50 (pECso being the negative logarithm of EC50, i. e., the molar concentration of an agonist which produces 50% of the maximum possible response for that agonist) for norepinephrine and pKb (wherein Kb is the equilibrium dissociation for a competitive antagonist, determined in a functional assay, and being equal to the concentration of antagonist which would occupy 50% of the receptors at equilibrium, units=mol I-', and pKb is the negative logarithm of Kb) for prazosin and tested compounds.

Example L-2 : [H] prazosin Binding (Alphal-Adrenoceptor) Assay AlphalA, alphalB, and alphalD adrenoceptor transfected CHO-K1 cells, prepared using the methods described by Chang et al., FEBS Lett. 422: 279-283 (1998) were grown to confluence in T-162 tissue culture flasks in Ham's F-12 culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, geneticin (150 g/mL) and streptomycin/penicillin (30 Mg/mL/30 Fg/mL) at 37° C in 7% CO2. Cells were harvested by incubating with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30 ut EDTA for 5-10 min at 37° C. Cells were pelleted by centrifuging at 500 x g for 5min, and the pelleted cells were homogenized (Polytron homogenizer) in 10 vols (w/v) of 50 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, (homogenisation buffer, pH 7. 4 at 4° C). The homogenate was centrifuged at 45,000 x g for 20 min. The pellet was resuspended in the homogenizing buffer and rehomogenized.

The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 45,000 x g for 20 min. The pellet was resuspended in 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4 at 4°C), aliquoted, frozen, and stored at-80° C for further use.

The membranes were thawed at RT and diluted in assay buffer (50 mM Tris buffer at pH 4) at 37°C and homogenized using the Polytron tissue disrupter. The membranes were incubated with the radioligand ([3H] prazosin, NEN, 0. 1-0. 5 nM) and test compound at 37°C for 30 min. The membranes were then filtered over polyethyleneimine-treated GF/B unifilter plates using a Packard Filtermate Harvester and washed with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCI, 1 mM EDTA buffer (3 x 3 sec. washes). Scintillation cocktail was added to the filter plates and bound radioligand determined by liquid scintillation spectrophotometry.

For each experiment, total binding (in the absence of any test or reference compounds) and non-specific binding (10 uM phentolamine) were determined. For each sample tested, the concentration producing 50% inhibition of binding (ICso) and Hill Slope (nH) was determined using iterative non-linear curve fitting techniques with Kaleidagraph (Synergy Software) or other appropriate software. If the radioligand Ko was known, the inhibition dissociation constant (KI) of each ligand was determined according to the method of Cheng and Prusoff [Biochem. Pharmacol. 22: 3099-3108 (1973).

Proceeding as in Example L-2, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to be selective alphalA/B-adrenoceptor antagonists.

Example L-3: Dog Isz Vivo Intraurethral and Blood Pressure Assay The following describes an in vivo assay for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on hypogastric nerve stimulation-induced increases in intraurethral pressure and phenylephrine-induced increases in diastolic blood pressure in anesthetized dog.

Male Mongrel dogs (10 to 20 kg) were fasted for 12 to 18 hours and anesthetized with phenobarbital sodium (36 mg/kg, z. v.). An endotracheal tube was inserted and thereafter the lungs were mechanically ventilated with room air. The right femoral vein was isolated and cannulated with two polyethylene cannulae, one for the administration of a. continuous infusion of phenobarbital sodium (5 to 10 mg/kg/hr) and the other for bolus administration of test substances. The right femoral artery was isolated and cannulated to the abdominal aorta with a fluid filled polyethylene cannula connected to an external pressure transducer for monitoring diastolic aortic pressure (DAP). The bladder was exposed via a ventral midline abdominal incision and emptied of urine through a 22 gauge needle. The bladder was cannulated through a stab incision with a water filled balloon catheter connected to an external pressure transducer for monitoring prostatic intraurethral pressure (IUP). The right hypogastric nerve (HGN) was carefully isolated and attached to a Dastre's electrode for nerve stimulation.

The preparation was allowed to stabilize for at least 20-30 minutes and must have had a stable basal IUP for not less than 15 minutes prior to commencement of the assay protocol. The HGN was stimulated (20-50V, 10Hz, 10 msec pulse train for 10 sec) to induce a measurable increase in IUP and then phenylephrine (PE) was administered by bolus injection (6 pg/kg, i. v.) to induce a measurable increase in DAP. The HGN stimulation and PE bolus injection were repeated every 5 minutes until three consecutive reproducible increases in IUP and DAP were achieved. Test compound was administered and 10 minutes later the HGN stimulation and PE bolus injection were repeated. Test compound was administered approximately every 20 minutes, increasing the dose until maximal or near maximal inhibition of the increases in IUP and DAP is attained.

Proceeding as in Example L-3, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to selectively inhibit the HGN stimulation-induced increases in IUP. In contrast, prazosin inhibited increases in IUP and DAP in similar fashion.

Compounds of formula I are active in the above assays. For some examplary compounds the following table shows corresponding data.
