BACKGROUND OF INVENTION Potassium channels play an important role in regulating cell membrane excitability. When the potassium channels open, changes in the electrical potential across the cell membrane occur and result in a more polarized state. A number of diseases or conditions may be treated with therapeutic agents that open potassium channels ; see for example (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., v. 70, pp. 39-63 (1996)); (Gehlert et al., Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol & Biol. Psychiat., v. 1S, pp. 1093-1102 (1994)); (Gopalakrishnan et al., Drug Development Research, v. 28, pp. 95-127 (1993)); (Freedman et al., The Neuroscientist, v. 2, pp. 145-152 (1996)); (Nurse et al., Br. J. Urol., v. 68 pp. 27-31 (1991)) ; (Howe et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., v. 274 pp. 884-890 (1995)); (Spanswick et al., Nature, v. 390 pp. 521-25 (December 4, 1997)); (Dompeling Vasa. Supplementum (1992) 3434); (W09932495); (Grover, J Mol Cell Cardiol. (2000) 32, 677); and (Buchheit, Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics (1999) 12, 103). Such diseases or conditions include asthma, epilepsy, male sexual dysfunction, female sexual dysfunction, pain, bladder overactivity, stroke, diseases associated with decreased skeletal blood flow such as Raynaud's phenomenon and intermittent claudication, eating disorders, functional bowel disorders, neurodegeneration, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), dysmenonhea, premature labor, alopecia, cardioprotection, coronary artery disease, angina and ischemia.

Bladder overactivity is a condition associated with the spontaneous, uncontrolled contractions of the bladder smooth muscle. Bladder overactivity thus is associated with sensations of urgency, urinary incontinence, pollakiuria, bladder instability, nocturia, bladder hyerreflexia, and enuresis (Resnick, The Lancet (1995) 346,94-99; Hampel, Urology (1997) 50 (Suppl 6A), 4-14; Bosch, BJU International (1999) 83 (Suppl 2), 7-9). Potassium channel openers (KCOs) act as smooth muscle relaxants. Because bladder overactivity and urinary incontinence can result from the spontaneous, uncontrolled contractions of the smooth muscle of the bladder, the ability of potassium channel openers to hyperpolarize bladder cells and relax bladder smooth muscle may provide a method to ameliorate or prevent bladder overactivity, pollakiuria, bladder instability, nocturia, bladder hypelTeflexia, urinary incontinence, and enuresis (Andersson, Urology (1997) 50 (Suppl 6A), 74-84; Lawson, Pharmacol.

Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Nurse., Br. J. Urol., (1991) 68,27-31; Howe, J. Pharmacol.

Exp. Ther., (1995) 274,884-890; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28, 95-127).

The irritative symptoms of BPH (urgency, frequency, nocturia and urge incontinence) have been shown to be correlated to bladder instability (Pandita, The J. of Urology (1999) 162, 943). Therefore the ability of potassium channel openers to hyperpolarize bladder cells and relax bladder smooth muscle may provide a method to ameliorate or prevent the symptoms associated with BPH. (Andersson, Prostate (1997) 30: 202-215).

The excitability of corpus cavemosum smooth muscle cells is important in the male erectile process. The relaxation of corporal smooth muscle cells allows arterial blood to build up under pressure in the erectile tissue of the penis leading to erection (Andersson, Pharmacological Reviews (1993) 45,253). Potassium channels play a significant role in modulating human corporal smooth muscle tone, and thus, erectile capacity. By patch clamp teclmique, potassium channels have been characterized in human corporal smooth muscle cells (Lee, Int. J. Impot. Res. (1999) 11 (4), 179-188).

Potassium channel openers are smooth muscle relaxants and have been shown to relax corpus cavernosal smooth muscle and induce erections (Andersson, Pharmacological Reviews (1993) 45,253; Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63, Vick, J. Urol.

(2000) 163: 202). Potassium channel openers therefore may have utility in the treatment of male sexual dysfunctions such as male erectile dysfunction, impotence and premature ejaculation.

The sexual response in women is classified into four stages: excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution. Sexual arousal and excitement increase blood flow to the genital area, and lubrication of the vagina as a result of plasma transudation.

Topical application of KCOs like minoxidil and nicorandil have been shown to increase clitoral blood flow (Kim et al., J. Urol. (2000) 163 (4): 240). KCOs may be effective for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction including clitoral erectile insufficiency, vaginismus and vaginal engorgement (Goldstein and Berman., Int. J.

Impotence Res. (1998) 10 : S84-S90 !, as KCOs can increase blood flow to female sexual organs.

Potassium channel openers may have utility as tocolytic agents to inhibit uterine contractions to delay or prevent premature parturition in individuals or to slow or arrest delivery for brief periods to undertake other therapeutic measures (Sanborn, Semin. Perinatol. (1995) 19,31-40; Morrison, Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. (1993) 169 (5), 1277-85). Potassium channel openers also inhibit contractile responses of human uterus and intrauterine vasculature. This combined effect would suggest the potential use of KCOs for dysmenhorrea (Kostrzewska, Acta Obstet. Gynecol. Scand.

(1996) 75 (10), 886-91). Potassium channel openers relax uterine smooth muscle and intrauterine vasculature and therefore may have utility in the treatment of premature labor and dysmenorrhoea (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63).

Potassium channel openers relax gastrointestinal smooth tissues and therefore may be useful in the treatment of functional bowel disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70, 39-63).

Potassium channel openers relax airway smooth muscle and induce bronchodilation. Therefore potassium channel openers may be useful in the treatment of asthma and airways hyperreactivity (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Buchheit, Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics (1999) 12,103; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127).

Neuronal hyperpolarization can produce analgesic effects. The opening of potassium channels by potassium channel openers and resultant hyperpolarization in the membrane of target neurons is a key mechanism in the effect of opioids. The peripheral antinociceptive effect of morphine results from activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, which causes hyperpolarization of peripheral terminals of primary afferents, leading to a decrease in action potential generation (Rodrigues, Br J Pharmacol (2000) 129 (1), 110-4). Opening of KATP channels by potassium channel openers plays an important role in the antinociception mediated by alpha-2 adrenoceptors and mu opioid receptors. KCOs can potentiate the analgesic action of both morphine and dexmedetomidine via an activation of KATP channels at the spinal cord level (Vergoni, Life Sci. (1992) 50 (16), PL135-8 ; Asano, Anesth. Analg. (2000) 90 (5), 1146-51).. Thus, potassium channel openers can hyperpolarize neuronal cells and have shown analgesic effects. Potassium channel openers therefore may be useful as analgesics in the treatment of various pain states including but not limited to migraine and dyspareunia (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127; Gehlert, Prog.

Neuro-Psychophalmacol. & Biol. Psychiat., (1994) 18,1093-1102).

Epilepsy results from the propagation of nonphysiologic electrical impulses.

Potassium channel openers hyperpolarize neuronal cells and lead to a decrease in cellular excitability and have demonstrated antiepileptic effects. Therefore potassium channel openers may be useful in the treatment of epilepsy (Lawson, Pharmacol.

Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95- 127; Gehlert, Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol. & Biol. Psychiat., (1994) 18,1093- 1102).

Neuronal cell depolarization can lead to excitotoxicity and neuronal cell death.

When this occurs as a result of acute ischemic conditions, it can lead to stroke. Long- term neurodegeneration can bring about conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Potassium channel openers can hyperpolarize neuronal cells and lead to a decrease in cellular excitability. Activation of potassium channels has been shown to enhance neuronal survival. Therefore potassium channel openers may have utility as neuroprotectants in the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions and diseases such as cerebral ischemia, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70, 39-63 ; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127; Gehlert, Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol & Biol. Psychiat., (1994) 18,1093-1102; Freedman, The Neuroscientist (1996) 2, 145).

Potassium channel openers may have utility in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with decreased skeletal muscle blood flow such as Raynaud's syndrome and intermittent claudication (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127; Dompeling Vasa.

Supplementum (1992) 3434; and W09932495).

Potassium channel openers may be useful in the treatment of eating disorders such as obesity (Spanswick, Nature, (1997) 390, 521-25 ; Freedman, The Neuroscientist (1996) 2,145).

Potassium channel openers have been shown to promote hair growth therefore potassium channel openers have utility in the treatment of hair loss and baldness also known as alopecia (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127).

Potassium channel openers possess cardioprotective effects against myocardial injury during ischemia and reperfusion (Garlid, Circ. Res. (1997) 81 (6), 1072-82).

Therefore, potassium channel openers may be useful in the treatment of heart diseases (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63; Grover, J. Mol. Cell Cardiol. (2000) 32,677).

Potassium channel openers, by hyperpolarization of smooth muscle membranes, can exert vasodilation of the collateral circulation of the coronary vasculature leading to increase blood flow to ischemic areas and could be useful for the coronary artery disease (Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., (1996) 70,39-63, Gopalakrishnan, Drug Development Research, (1993) 28,95-127).

After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was treated with 3-pyridyl isothiocyanate (1.36 g, 10.0 mmol), stirred for an additional 30 minutes, then treated with methyl iodide (1.42 g, 10.0 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred for 1.5 hours and then water was added until a clear solution was formed. The solution was extracted with methylene chloride (3 x 50 mL) and the extracts were combined, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated to provide a yellow oil that was used without further purification.

The crude material obtained above was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and treated with ammonia (150 mL of a 2. 0 M solution in methanol). The reaction mixture was then heated at 80 °C in a sealed high-pressure flask for 24 hours. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (elution with 5% MeOH/methylene chloride) to provide the desired product (2.10 g) as a white solid.

Determination of Potassium Channel Opening Activity Membrane Hyperpolarization Assays Compounds were evaluated for potassium channel opening activity using primary cultured guinea-pig urinary bladder (GPB) cells.

For the preparation of urinary bladder smooth muscle cells, urinary bladders were removed from male guinea-pigs (Hartley, Charles River, Wilmington, MA) weighing 300-400 g and placed in ice-cold Ca2+-free Krebs solution (Composition, mM: KCl, 2. 7; KH2PO4, 1.5; NaCl, 75; Na2HP04, 9.6; Na2HP04-7H20, 8; MgSO4, 2; glucose, 5; HEPES, 10; pH 7.4). Cells were isolated by enzymatic dissociation as previously described with minor modifications (Klockner, U. and Isenberg, G., Pflugers Arch. (1985), 405,329-339), hereby incorporated by reference. The bladder was cut into small sections and incubated in 5 mL ofthe Kreb's solution containing 1 mg/mL collagenase (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and 0.2 mg/mL pronase (Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) with continuous stirring in a cell incubator for 30 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged at 1300 x g for 5 minutes, and the pellet resuspended in Dulbecco's PBS (GIBCO, Gaithersburg, MD) and recentrifuged to remove residual enzyme. The cell pellet was resuspended in 5 mL growth media (composition: Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 units/mL streptomycin and 0.25 mg/mL amphotericin B) and further dissociated by pipetting the suspension through a flame-polished Pasteur pipette and passing it through a polypropylene mesh membrane (Spectrum, Houston, TX). The cell density was adjusted to 100,000 cells/mL by resuspension in growth media. Cells were plated in clear-bottomed black 96-well plates (Packard) for membrane potential studies at a density of 20,000 cells/well and maintained in a cell incubator with 90% air: 10% C02 until confluent. Cells were confirmed to be of smooth muscle type by cytoskeletal staining using a monoclonal mouse anti human- a-smooth muscle actin (Biomeda, Foster City, CA).

Functional activity at potassium channels was measured by evaluating changes in membrane potential using the bis-oxonol dye DiBAC (4) 3 (Molecular Probes) in a 96-well cell-based kinetic assay system, Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR) (K. S. Schroeder et al., J. Biomed. Screen., v. 1 pp. 75-S1 (1996)), hereby incorporated by reference. DiBAC (4) 3 is an anionic potentiometric probe which partitions between cells and extracellular solution in a membrane potential-dependent manner. With increasing membrane potential (for example, K+ depolarization), the probe further partitions into the cell; this is measured as an increase in fluorescence due to dye interaction with intracellular lipids and proteins. Conversely, decreasing membrane potential (hyperpolarization by potassium channel openers) evokes a decrease in fluorescence.

Confluent guinea-pig urinary bladder cells cultured in black clear-bottomed 96-well plates were rinsed twice with 200 mL assay buffer (composition, mM: HEPES, 20; NaCI, 120; KCI, 2; CaCl2, 2 ; MgClz, 1; glucose, 5; pH 7.4 at 25 °C) containing 5 uM DiBAC (4) 3 and incubated with 180 mL of the buffer in a cell incubator for 30 minutes at 37 °C to ensure dye distribution across the membrane.

After recording the baseline fluorescence for 5 minutes, the reference or test compounds, prepared at 10 times the concentration in the assay buffer, were added directly to the wells. Changes in fluorescence were monitored for an additional 25 minutes. Hyperpolarization responses were corrected for any background noise and were normalized to the response observed with 10 LM of the reference compound P1075 (assigned as 100%), a potent opener of smooth muscle KATP channels (Quast et al., Mol. Pharmacol., v. 43 pp. 474-481 (1993)), hereby incorporated by reference.

Routinely, five concentrations of P1075 or test compounds (log or half-log dilutions) were evaluated and the maximal steady-state hyperpolarization values (expressed as % relative to P1075) plotted as a function of concentration. The ECso (concentration that elicites 50% of the maximal response for the test sample) values were calculated by non-linear regression analysis using a four parameter sigmoidal equation. The maximal response of each compound (expressed as % relative to P1075) is reported. Stock solutions of compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO and further dilutions were carried out in the assay buffer and added to a 96-well plate.

Landrace pigs were euthanized with an intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital solution, Smlethal#, J. A. Webster Inc., Sterling MA. The entire bladder was removed and immediately placed into Krebs Ringer bicarbonate solution (composition, mM : NaCI, 120; NaHCO3, 20; dextrose, 11 ; KCI, 4.7; CaCl2, 2.5; MgS04, 1.5; EXH2PO4, 1.2; K2EDTA, 0.01, equilibrated with 5% C02/95% 02 pH 7.4 at 37 °C). Propranolol (0.004 mM) was included in all of the assays to block ß- adrenoceptors. The trigonal and dome portions were discarded.

Two parallel platinum electrodes were included in the stationary glass rod to provide field stimulation of 0.05 Hz, 0.5 milli-seconds at 20 volts. This low frequency stimulation produced a stable twitch response of 100-500 centigrams. Tissues were allowed to equilibrate for at least 60 minutes and primed with 80 mM KCI. A control concentration response curve (cumulative) was generated for each tissue using the potassium channel opener P1075 as the control agonist. P1075 completely eliminated the stimulated twitch in a dose dependent fashion over a concentration range of 10-9 to 10-5 M dissolved in DMSO using 1/2 log increments. After a 60 minute rinsing period, a concentration response curve (cumulative) was generated for the test agonist in the same fashion as that used for the control agonist P 1075. The maximal efficacy of each compound (expressed as % relative to P1075) is reported. The amount of agent necessary to cause 50% of the agent's maximal response (EDso) was calculated using"ALLFIT" (DeLean et al., Am. J. Physiol., 235, E97 (1980)), hereby incorporated by reference. Agonist potencies were also expressed as an index relative to P1075. The index was calculated by dividing the EDso for P1075 by the EDso for the test agonist in a given tissue. Each tissue was used for only one test agonist, and the indices obtained from each tissue were averaged to provide an average index of potency. These data are shown in Table 2.

In Vivo Data The utility of compounds of the present invention for the treatment of urinary incontinence, bladder overactivity, and bladder instability is illustrated by the ability of compounds of the present invention to inhibit bladder contractions in vivo. The following method is illustrative of the in vivo bladder efficacy of compounds of the present invention.

In Vivo Bladder Efficacy Protocol (Isovolumetric Contractions Model) Male CD rats (400-450 g) were anesthetized with urethane (0.6 g/kg ip + 0.6 g/kg sc). The left femoral vein was cannulated with polyethylene (PE-50) tubing for the administration of test compound. A third polyethylene catheter (PE-60) was inserted 3-4 mm into the apex of the bladder dome and secured using a 5-0 silk purse string suture. The bladder was emptied via this catheter and additionally by applying slight manual pressure on the lower abdomen. The urinary catheter was connected using a Y-tube connector to both a pressure transducer and a syringe pump. The urethra was then ligated using 4-0 silk suture and the bladder was slowly filled using a constant infusion of room temperature saline at the rate of 0.1 mL/min until spontaneous rhythmic contractions were evident (1.0-1.3 mL). After the contractions stabilized to a consistent pattern, bladder pressure was monitored for 20 minutes before and after a dose of the vehicle (equal parts of P-cyclodextrin stock solution (100 g (3-cyclodextrin dissolved in 200 mL) and sterile water) alone. Then three doses of a test compound were administered cumulatively intravenous (iv) at 20 minute intervals. Each dosing solution (1 mL/kg) was warmed to body temperature before dosing and was infused over 3 minutes to minimize dosing artifacts on the bladder pressure trace. Data were averaged over the last 10 minutes of each period and presented as percent change from control. Area under the curve of the bladder contractions was determined from the respective waveforms using a Modular Instruments, Inc. computerized data acquisition system and averaged over the last ten minutes of each twenty minute period. The doses required to reduce the area under the curve of the bladder contractions by 30% (AUC ED30%) relative to control were estimated using a customized Excel spreadsheet. Data for representative compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 3.

The term''pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,"as used herein, means a non- toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth ; malt ; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil ; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laureate ; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water ; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection or for rectal administration.

Further included within the scope of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the compounds of formula I-VII prepared and formulated in combination with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection or for rectal administration.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other mammals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracistemally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments or drops), bucally or as an oral or nasal spray. The term"parenterally,"as used herein, refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrastemal, subcutaneous, intraarticular injection and infusion.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.

These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride and the like.

Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents, as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar- agar, tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.

If desired, and for more effective distribution, the compounds of the present invention can be incorporated into slow-release or targeted-delivery systems such as polymer matrices, liposomes, and microspheres. They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter or by incorporation of sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions, which may be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use.

The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound can be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e. g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of such composition that they release the active ingredient (s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly (orthoesters) and poly (anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic, parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U. S. P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono-or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; b) binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia; c) humectants such as glycerol; d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin) ; f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate;) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient (s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non- irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.

Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.

Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

Compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono-or multi- lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non- toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes may be used. The present compositions in liposome form may contain, in addition to the compounds of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the natural and synthetic phospholipids and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) used separately or together.

Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N. Y., (1976), p 33 et seq.

The term"pharmaceutically acceptable amide,"as used herein, refers to non- toxic amides of the present invention derived from ammonia, primary Cl-tO-C6 alkyl amines and secondary Cl-to-C6 dialkyl amines. In the case of secondary amines, the amine may also be in the form of a 5-or 6-membered heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom. Amides derived from ammonia, Cl-to-C3 alkyl primary amides and Cl-to-C2 dialkyl secondary amides are preferred. Amides of the compounds of formula I-VII may be prepared according to conventional methods. It is intended that amides of the present invention include amino acid and peptide derivatives of the compounds of formula I-VII, as well.

The term"pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug"or"prodrug,"as used herein, represents those prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgement, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use. Prodrugs of the present invention may be rapidly transformed in vivo to the parent compound of the above formula, for example, by hydrolysis in blood. A thorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, V. 14 of the A. C. S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press (1987), hereby incorporated by reference.

When used in the above or other treatments, a therapeutically effective amount of one of the compounds of the present invention can be employed in pure form or, where such forms exist, in pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, amide or prodrug form. Alternatively, the compound can be administered as a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound of interest in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The phrase"therapeutically effective amount"of the compound of the invention means a sufficient amount of the compound to treat disorders, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgement. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts. For example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.

The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a human or lower animal may range from about 0.003 to about 50 mg/kg/day. For purposes of oral administration, more preferable doses can be in the range of from about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg/day. If desired, the effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration; consequently, single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.
