The pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof include the hydrates thereof.
Also included within the present scope of the compounds of the formula (I) are polymorphs thereof.
A compound of the formula (I) may contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and therefore exist in two or more stereoisomeric forms. The present invention includes the individual stereoisomers of the compounds of formula (I) along with the individual tautomeric forms (1 a, 1 b and 1 c) thereof, together with mixtures thereof. Separation of diastereoisomers may be achieved by conventional techniques, e. g. by fractional crystallisation, chromatography or H. P. L. C. of a stereoisomeric mixture of a compound of the formula (I) or a suitable salt or derivative thereof. An individual enantiomer of a compound of the formula (1) may also be prepared from a corresponding optically pure intermediate or by resolution, such as by H. P. L.

the diastereoisomeric salts formed by reaction of the corresponding racemate with a suitable optically active acid or base, as appropriate.
The present invention also includes all suitable isotopic variations of a compound of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof. An isotopic variation of a compound of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof is defined as one in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the formula (I) and pharmaceutical acceptable salts there of include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine and chlorine such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14G, 15N, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F and 36Cl, respectively. Certain isotopic variations of the compounds of the formula (I) and pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof, for example, those in which a radioactive isotope such as 3H or 14C is incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. Tritiated, i. e. 3H, and carbon- 14, i. e. 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium, i. e. 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopic variations of the compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof of this invention can generally be prepared by conventional procedures such as by the illustrative methods or by the preparations described in the Examples and Preparations hereafter using appropriate isotopic variations of suitable reagents.

The compounds of the invention are useful because they possess pharmacological activity in animals. In particular, the compounds are useful in the treatment of a number of conditions including hypertension, myocardial infarction, male erectile dysfunction, hyperlipidaemia, cardiac arrhythmia, glaucoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia. They may also be useful in the treatment of female sexual arousal dysfunction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is of greatest interest.
Thus, according to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition including a compound of the formula (I), a tautomer, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt or solvate thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, diluent or carrier. Also provided is a method of treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention to a patient suffering from such a disorder. The use of the compounds of the invention as pharmaceuticals, and the use of the compounds of the invention in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, are also provided.
The compounds of the invention may be administered by any convenient route, for example orally, parenterally (e. g. intravenously, transdermally) or rectally. The daily dose
required will of course vary with the particular compound used, the particular condition being treated and with the severity of that condition. However, in general a total daily dose of from about 0.01 to 10.0 mg/kg of body weight, and preferably about 0.01 to 2.5 mg/kg, is suitable, administered from 1 to 2 times a day. Oral administration is of particular interest.
The compounds of the invention will generally be administered in the form of a suitable pharmaceutical formulation. Thus, according to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical formulation including preferably less than 50% by weight of a compound of the invention in admixture with a pharmaceutical acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier. The pharmaceutical formulation is preferably in unit dose form. Such forms include solid dosage forms, for example tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, and suppositories for oral, parenteral or rectal administration; and liquid dosage forms, for example sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, suitably flavoured syrups, flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil and peanut oil, and elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Oral formulations are preferably controlled-release formulations.
Solid formulations may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with pharmaceutical carriers, for example conventional tabletting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, gums and other diluents, for example water, to form a homogeneous preformulation formulation in which the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed so that it may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms containing typically from 1.0 to about 70.0 mg of the active ingredient. The solid dosage forms may be coated or otherwise compounded to prolong the action of the formulation.
Formulations intended for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia may contain a compound of the invention in combination with a compound that attenuates the growth of the prostate gland. For example, a formulation is envisaged that combines a compound of the invention with human 5-a reductase inhibitory compound [see International Patent Application WO 95/28397]. Altematively, a compound of the invention could be presented in a pharmaceutical pack also containing a human 5-a reductase inhibitory compound as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use.
The compounds of the invention may be tested in the screen set out below : Contractile responses of rabbit aorta (α1L receptor) A single rabbit aorta was cleaned of connective tissue, cut into rings ~3mm in length, then denuded of epithelium by rubbing very gently with a probe. The lengths of tissue are then mounted in the 5mL organ baths, which contain the modified Krebs of the following composition (mM): NaCI (119), KCI (4.7), CaCl2 (2.5), KH2PO4 (1.2), MgS04 (1.2), NaHC03 (25), glucose (11), and gassed with 95% 02/5% C02 The tissues are placed under #1.5g tension, and are left to equilibrate for ~60 minutes on a pump speed of-5mL\minute, adjusting the tension to 1-1. 5g if necessary after 15 and 45 minutes. A 1M stock solution (1x10M bath conc.) of methoxamine in water was made and 1: 10 dilutions made using the same diluent. A sensitising dose of 120mM KCI (bath concentration) was added to each bath. After the maximum response had been reached (usually about 6-8 minutes), the tissues are washed with Krebs solution for 60 minutes, pump speed at-2. 97mUmin.
A cumulative dose response curve was constructed, bath concentrations of methoxamine being 1x10-7M to a maximum of 3x10 1M. Each dose was allowed to exert its maximum effect before the next dose was added (6-8 mins). On completion of this curve, the tissues were washed, (pump speed #10mL/min for 10 minutes, 2. 97mUmin for 50 minutes) until the tissues were stable at baseline tension.
The compound under investigation was made up to a stock concentration of 1mM in 100% DMSO. Three chosen concentrations for a pA2 estimation were then made up in DMSO, and 5p1 of each concentration added in duplicate to the tissues, with a vehicle control (DMSO). The tissues were left in the presence of compound or vehicle for 60 minutes before a second CDRC to methoxamine was constructed up to a maximum of 3xl 0-3M The data was captured on ADA analysis in-vitro software, which expresses the readings as a % of the maximum response of the control curve, draws control and test compound dose response curves, and calculates a EC50 and then dose ratio (DR), the ratio between control and treatment curve Echo, for each treatment. The results are reported as pKb, or where possible pA2.
pKb =-log [Antagonist concentrationl<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> (DR*-1) where DR* = dose ratio compound dose ratio control NB. If the value of (DR*-1) was less than or equal to 2, the result could not be used for a pA2 estimation. The control curves must not have shifted by more than 2.5. The pA2 was plotted on a Schild analysis. i. e. y axis = log (DR*-1) ; x axis =-log antagonist concentration The compounds of the invention may have the advantage that they are more potent, have a longer duration of action, have a broader range of activity, are more stable, have fewer side effects or are more selective (in particular they may have beneficial effects in benign prostatic hyperplasia without causing undesirable cardiovascular effects, for example because they are able to selectively antagonise prostatic receptor subtypes of the ar adrenoceptor), or have other more useful properties than the compounds of the prior art.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that sensitive functional groups may need to be protected and deprotected during synthesis of a compound of the invention. This may be achieved by conventional techniques, for example as described in'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis'by T W Greene and P G M Wuts, John Wiley and Sons Inc, 1991.
The compounds of the invention may be obtained by the reaction of an amine (III) with alkylating agent (II) as shown in the scheme below, where R', R2, X, Y etc. are as previously defined: () (u9 ( ) Scheme 1.
Step (a): Amine (III) is reacted with quinazolinone (II), where LG is a suitable leaving group (for example halo, tosylat or mesylate), in the presence of an excess of 3° amine base (as H+ acceptor) (for example Et3N, Hunig's base or NMM) in a suitable high boiling solvent at elevated temperature for 1-6 hrs. For example, preferred

Step (f) : Amination of compound (VIII) is achieved by reaction with RaNH2 (Ra is H) at an elevated temperature and pressure, in a suitable solvent (DMSO, MeOH) for about 18-72 hrs. It is preferred to carry out the reaction under the following conditions: RaNH2 in DMSO at elevated temperature (about 140°C) and pressure (sealed vessel) for 18- 72 hrs.
Step (g) : Quinazolinedione (X) is formed by C02 insertion, derived from the method of Mizuno et. al. Tet. Lett. 41 (2000) 1051. The following conditions are preferred: 2 eq. of DBU (1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4. 0] undec-7-ene), C02 (solid), in N, N-dimethylformamide, at 140°C and elevated pressure (sealed vessel) for 18 hrs.

Hunig's base, Et3N), optionally in a suitable solvent (DCM) at room temperature to reflux temperature for 1-16 hours. It is preferred to use the following conditions : 30 eq. POCI3 (as solvent), optionally in the presence of a base, e. g. 2.4 eq.
Hunig's base, at reflux for 1-7 hours Step (i) : Selective hydrolysis of compound (XI) is achieved by reaction with an OH- source (typically an alkali metal hydroxide) in a suitable solvent, at room temperature for 2 hours. Preferred conditions are: 3 eq. NaOH (aq. ) in dioxane at room temperature for 2 hours.
