CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No 60/042,912, filed Jun. 9, 1995.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel �3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl!-, �3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl!- and �1-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl methyl)cycloprop-1-ylmethyl!-pyrimidinedione, pyrimidinetrione, dihydropyrimidinedione, triazinedione and tetrahydroquinazolinedione derivatives as .alpha..sub.1 -adrenergic receptor antagonists, pharmaceutical formulations containing them, their uses as therapeutic agents, and syntheses therefor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
.alpha..sub.1 -Adrenergic receptors (.alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptocs) mediate the contractile state of smooth muscle tissue. For example, hypersympathetic activity produces contraction of vascular smooth muscle which -Leads to elevated blood pressures. Thus, .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor antagonists find use as anti-hypertensive agents. .alpha..sub.1 -Adrenoceptor stimulation also produces contraction of urethral and bladder neck smooth muscle, leading to increased resistance in urinary outflow. Thus, .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor antagonists are useful in treating conditions which relate directly or indirectly to obstructive uropathies, particularly obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Lepor, H. The Prostate Supplement 1990, 3, 75-84). However, the amount of .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor antagonist required to produce a therapeutic effect with regard to urinary outflow, can produce an excessive decrease of blood pressure and/or an inhibition of the mechanism by which normal blood pressure is maintained during changes in posture (i.e., postural hypotension). Thus, antagonists which can selectively reduce .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor hyperactivity in prostatic and/or lower urinary tract smooth muscle, without affecting blood pressure or causing postural hypotension, are desirable.

Isomerism is the phenomenon wherein compounds have identical molecular formulae but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. 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 stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable mirror images are termed "enantiomers" or sometimes optical isomers. A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a "chiral center".
A compound with one chiral center has two enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality and may exist as either an individual enantiomer or as a mixture of enantiomers. A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a "racemic mixture". A compound that has more than one chiral center has 2.sup.n-1 enantiomeric pairs, where n is the number of chiral centers. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist as either an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed a "diastereomeric mixture".
When one chiral center is present a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked in accordance with the Sequence Rule of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog and the absolute descriptor R or S is cited in parentheses followed by a hyphen and the chemical name of compound.
Compounds of Formula I can exist as individual stereoisomers or mixtures of stereoisomers. For example, compounds of Formula I in which R.sup.5 is a group of Formula (c) or (d) can contain chiral centers at the 5- and/or 6-positions of the 5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione moiety. When chiral centers are present at both the 5- and 6-positions two enantiomeric pairs are possible (i.e., the 5R,6S/5S, 6R enantiomeric pair, also referred to as the cis-isomers, and the 5R,6R/5S,6S enantiomeric pair, also referred to as the trans-isomers). For the purposes of the present application when referring to a compound of Formula I by name or by formula and the configuration is not designated, it is to be understood that the reference is to all possible configurations of the compound.
The compounds of Formula I are named in accordance with acceptable nomenclature rules generally consistent with "Chemical Abstracts". For example, the compound of Formula I in which R.sup.1 is methoxy and R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each hydro:
is named 3-{3-�4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl!propyl}-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione when R.sup.5 is a group of Formula (a), wherein Z is CH and R.sup.7 is methyl;
is named 3-{3-�4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl!propyl}-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione when R.sup.5 is a group of Formula (a), wherein Z is C(R.sup.9) and R.sup.7 and R.sup.9 together are tetramethylene;
is named 4-{3-�4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl!propyl}-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione when R.sup.5 is a group of Formula (a), wherein Z is N and R.sup.7 is methyl; and
is named 3-{3-�4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl!propyl}-5,5-dimethyl-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-pyrimidinetrione when R.sup.5 is a group of Formula (c) and each R.sup.8 is methyl.

Pharmacology and Utility
The .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor pharmacology of the compounds of this invention was determined by art-recognized procedures. In-vitro assays for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contraction of rat isolated aortic and rabbit isolated urinary bladder smooth muscle are described in Example 38. In vitro assays for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contraction of human isolated arterial, prostatic and urinary bladder smooth muscle are described in Example 39. An in vivo assay for measuring the blood pressure lowering effects of test compounds in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats is described in Example 40. An in vivo assay for measuring the effect of test compounds on the reflex maintenance of basal blood pressure in response to postural change from supine to vertical is described in Example 41. An in vivo assay for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated increases in blood and intraurethral pressures is described in Example 42.
In summary, the compounds of this invention were tested by the procedures described above and found to selectively inhibit the .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptors which mediate the contractile state of prostatic and lower urinary tract smooth muscle. The compounds of this invention will decrease resistance in urinary outflow, without producing the blood pressure lowering effects and/or the postural hypotension that are associated with previously described .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor antagonists. Accordingly, the compounds of this invention are useful in treating conditions which relate directly or indirectly to obstructive uropathies, particularly obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Administration and Pharmaceutical Composition

Chemistry
Compounds of Formula I:
Compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the process depicted in the following Reaction Scheme I: ##STR5## in which L is a leaving group and each R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined in the Summary of the Invention with respect Formula I.
In general, compounds of Formula I can be prepared by alkylating an optionally substituted 1-phenylpiperazine of Formula 2 with a compound of Formula 3, or a protected derivative thereof, and then deprotecting when necessary. The alkylation can be carried out neat at 100.degree. to 250.degree. C., typically at 150.degree. to 200.degree. C. and preferably at 180.degree. to 190.degree. C., requiring 1 to 3 hours (for further details see Example 24, infra.). Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out in a suitable inert organic solvent (e.g., acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidione (NMP), any appropriate mixture of suitable solvents, etc., preferably acetonitrile) with a suitable base present (e.g., sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, etc., preferably potassium carbonate) and optionally an iodide salt present (e.g., sodium iodide, lithium iodide, tetraalkylammonium iodides such as tetramethyammonium iodide and the like, etc., preferably sodium iodide) at 40.degree. to 90.degree. C., typically at 70.degree. to 85.degree. C. and preferably at reflux, requiring 6 to 72 hours (for further details see Example 25, infra.).
Deprotection when a nitrogen protective group is present can be effected by any means which removes the protective group and gives the desired product in reasonable yield. A detailed description of the techniques applicable to protective groups and their removal can be found in T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1981. For example, a convenient method of deprotection when the protective group is 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl is carried out with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a suitable inert organic solvent (e.g., tetrahydrofuran (THF), hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), any appropriate mixture of suitable solvents, etc., preferably THF) at 10.degree. to 65.degree. C., typically at 20.degree. to 25.degree. C. and preferably at approximately 25.degree. C., and requires 8 to 24 hours (for further details see Example 27, infra.). Deprotection when the protective group is methoxymethyl can be effected with concentrated hydrochloric acid in a suitable solvent, typically water/alcohol (9:1-1:9) mixture (e.g., water/methanol, /ethanol, /isopropanol, /any appropriate mixture of suitable alcohols, etc.) and preferably water/isopropanol (7:1), at 20.degree. to 100.degree. C., typically at 70.degree. to 90.degree. C. and preferably at approximately reflux, requiring 2 to 14 hours.
In addition, any hydroxy groups present in the compound of Formula 2 or 3 should be protected with a suitable protective group (e.g., benzyl, para-methoxybenzyl, 1-naphthylmethyl, etc., preferably benzyl). A convenient method of deprotecting a benzyl protected hydroxy group is by catalytic hydrogenation. The hydrogenation is carried out with a suitable catalyst (e.g., 10% palladium on carbon (10% Pd/C), palladium hydroxide, palladium acetate, etc. preferably 10% Pd/C) in the presence of ammonium formate and in an appropriate solvent, typically an alcohol (e.g., ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, any appropriate mixture of alcohols, etc.) and preferably methanol, at 50.degree. to 66.degree. C., typically at 63.degree. to 66.degree. C. and preferably at reflux. Alternatively, the benzyl group is removed by treating the protected compound with the catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere at 0 to 50 psi, typically at 10 to 20 psi and preferably at approximately 15 psi, at 20.degree. to 50.degree. C., typically at 23.degree. to 27.degree. C. and preferably at 25.degree. C.
Alternatively, compounds of Formula I in which R.sup.5 can be prepared by the process depicted in the following Reaction Scheme II: ##STR6## in which L is a leaving group and each R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined in the Summary of the Invention with respect Formula I.
An alternative method for preparing compounds of Formula I comprises alkylating a compound of the formula H--R.sup.5 (Formula 4), or the protected derivative thereof, with a compound of Formula 5 and then deprotecting when necessary. The alkylation is carried out in the presence of a suitable base (e.g., sodium carbonate, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, benzyltrimethylammonium chloride with sodium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium hydride, etc., preferably potassium carbonate) and in a suitable inert organic solvent (e.g., DMF, THF, acetonitrile, mixtures of toluene and water, any appropriate mixture of suitable solvents, etc., preferably THF) at 10.degree. to 40.degree. C., typically at 20.degree. to 25.degree. C. and preferably at approximately 20.degree. C., and requires 1 to 24 hours (for further details see Examples 30 and 31, infra.). The deprotection is carried out as set forth in Reaction Scheme I.

Compounds of Formula I may be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by reacting the free base forms of a compound of Formula I with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acid. Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts of compounds of Formula I may be prepared by reacting the free acid forms of compounds of Formula I with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases. Inorganic and organic acids and bases suitable for the preparation of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula I are set forth in the definitions section of this application. Alternatively, the salt forms of the compounds of Formula I may be prepared using salts of the starting materials or intermediates.
The free acid or free base forms of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared from the corresponding base addition salt or acid addition salt form. For example, compounds of Formula I in an acid addition salt form may be converted to the corresponding free base by treating with a suitable base (e.g., ammonium hydroxide solution, sodium hydroxide, etc.). Compounds of Formula I in a base addition salt form may be converted to the corresponding free acid by treating with a suitable acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, etc).
The N-oxides of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by treating an unoxidized form of the compound of Formula I with an oxidizing agent (e.g., trifluoroperacetic acid, permaleic acid, perbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, etc.) in a suitable inert organic solvent (e.g., a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride) at approximately 0.degree.

C.
As will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, compounds of Formula I may be prepared as individual isomers or mixtures of isomers. Isomers which are diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and are readily separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. For example, diastereomers can be separated by chromatography (for further details see Example 35, infra) or, preferably, by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. Optical isomers can be separated by reacting the racemic mixture with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereomeric compounds. The isomers are then separated by any of the techniques described above for the separation of diastereomers and the pure optical isomer recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical means that would not result in racemization. While resolution of optical isomers can be carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of compounds of Formula I, dissociable complexes are preferred, e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts. Suitable resolving acids include tartaric acid, o-nitrotartranilic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, the 2-arylpropionic acids in general, and camphorsulfonic acid.
Individual isomers of compounds of Formula I can also be separated by such methods as direct or selective crystallization or by any other method known to one of ordinary skill in the art. A more detailed description of the techniques applicable to the resolution of stereoisomers of compounds of Formula I can be found in Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H,. Wilen, Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1981). Alternatively, individual isomers of compounds of Formula I can be prepared using the isomeric forms of the starting materials.

The combined ethyl acetate phase was then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered through a bed of filter aid (Solka Floc). The ethyl acetate phase was concentrated under vacuum, and subsequently replaced with isopropyl acetate, adjusting the final volume to about 15 L. The resulting slurry was heated briefly to about 70.degree. C. to ensure complete dissolution of the product, filtered through Solka Floc to remove any insoluble contaminants, and allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. A first crop of the precipitated product, cis-3-(3-{4-�4-fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}propyl-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, was isolated by filtration, washed with isopropyl acetate, and air-dried. The mother liquor and washings were combined, concentrated under vacuum to about 4 L, and allowed to cool slowly to room temperature, yielding a second crop of product. The combined product was mixed with maleic acid (300 g, 2.585 mol) and acetone (5 L). The resulting solution was heated to 40.degree.-50.degree. C., and isopropyl acetate (8 L) added slowly. The resulting slurry was heated again to 40.degree.-50.degree. C., and allowed to cool slowly to about 15.degree. C. The precipitated product, cis-3-(3-{4-�4-fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}propyl-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione maleate, was isolated by filtration, washed with isopropyl acetate, and dried at 45.degree. C. under vacuum.
The following is the resolution of cis-3-(3-{4-�4-fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}propyl)-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione by chiral chromatography.
cis-3-(3-{4-�4-Fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}-propyl)-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione fumarate, prepared as above, was dissolved in ethanol to a concentration of 20 mg/mL. A 2.0 mL fraction was injected onto a Chiralpak AS (2.times.250 cm) column, and was eluted with hexane/ethanol/diethylamine (90:9.9:0.1) at 8.0 mL/min, monitoring the eluate by UV absorption at 238 nm. The (+)-enantiomer eluted first, and the (-)-enantiomer second.
After repeated injections and elutions, the fractions highly enriched in the (+)-enantiomer were pooled and concentrated to give 610 mg (1.28 mmol) of the free base. This material was dissolved in warm methanol (10 mL), and fumaric acid (148 mg, 1.28 mmol) added and dissolved. A suspension of a fine powder was obtained on the addition of ethyl acetate (15 mL). The suspension was aged at room temperature, filtered and dried in vacuo, and the solids recrystallized to give 400 mg of the (+)-enantiomer of cis-3-(3-{4-�4-fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}propyl)-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione fumarate: m.p. 183.5.degree.-192.1.degree. C., �.alpha.!.sub.D +13.2.degree. (c=0.34, MeOH). The product was analyzed using an analytical Chiralpak AS column, and found to consist of 94.9% (+)-enantiomer and 5.1% (-)-enantiomer.
Similarly, the fractions highly enriched in the (-)-enantiomer were pooled and concentrated to give 540 mg of the free base. This material was dissolved in warm methanol (10 mL), and fumaric acid (130 mg) added and dissolved. A suspension of a fine powder was obtained on the addition of ethyl acetate (15 mL). The suspension was aged at room temperature, filtered and dried in vacuo to give 356 mg of the (-)-enantiomer of cis-3-(3-{4-�4-fluoro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl!piperazin-1-yl}propyl)-5,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione fumarate: m.p. 169.5.degree.-178.0.degree. C., �.alpha.!.sub.D -15.6.degree. (c=0.48, MeOH). The product was analyzed using an analytical Chiralpak AS column, and found to consist of 91.9% (-)-enantiomer and 8.1% (+)-enantiomer.

.alpha..sub.1 -Adrenoceptor In Vitro, Functional Assay in Tissue Isolated from Rabbit and Rat
The following describes in vitro assays; for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated, contraction of rat, isolated aortic smooth muscle and rabbit, isolated urinary bladder smooth muscle.
Thoracic aorta were isolated from rats and immediately immersed in Krebs' solution (comprising in mM concentrations: NaCl, 118.5; NaHCO.sub.3, 25; dextrose, 5; KCl, 4.8; CaCl.sub.2, 2.5; MgSO.sub.4, 1.2; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 1.2; cocaine, 0.03; corticosterone, 0.03; propranolol, 0.001; ascorbic acid, 0.1; and indomethacin, 0.01). The aortas were dissected free from extraneous tissue and then a cross sectional ring approximately 3 mm in length was cut from the most proximal segment. The aortic rings were suspended vertically in 10 mL tissue baths and bathed in Krebs' solution maintained at 37.degree. C. and constantly aerated with a 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 gas mixture. A resting tension of 1 g was applied to each aortic ring and thereafter periodically readjusted to maintain a 1 g resting tension throughout the duration of the assay.
Urinary bladders were emptied and isolated from rabbits. Bladders were dissected free from extraneous tissue and then a cross sectional ring of bladder neck tissue was cut above the urethra to approximately one third of the way up the bladder. The bladder neck was cut parallel to the longitudinal muscle fibers to give flat section of muscle tissue and then the flat section was cut parallel to the longitudinal muscle to give several flat strips. Strips of bladder tissue were suspended vertically in 10 mL tissue baths and bathed in Krebs' solution maintained at 33.degree. C. and constantly aerated with a 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 gas mixture. A resting tension of 5 g was applied to each urinary bladder strip. The strips were allowed to relax to a resting tension of 1 g and thereafter periodically readjusted to maintain the 1 g resting tension throughout the duration of the assay.
The aortic ring or urinary bladder strip preparations were allowed to equilibrate for 60 minutes during which period the bath solution was replaced every 15 minutes. The tissue was then exposed to bath solution containing norepinephrine (0.1 to 10 .mu.M) and once a steady state contraction was produced the tissue was exposed to bath solution free of norepinephrine, replacing the solution twice every 5 minutes for 30 minutes The aortic rings were exposed to norepinephrine and the urinary bladder strips to phenylephrine in a cumulative concentration fashion. That is, the isolated tissue was exposed to bath solution containing a threshold concentration of either norepinephrine or phenylephrine until a steady state contractile response was attained and then the concentration of agonist was cumulatively increased by 0.5 log increments until a maximal or near maximal response was attained. Norepinephrine produced a concentration-dependent, .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contraction of the aortic rings. Phenylephrine produced a concentration-dependent, .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contraction of the urinary bladder strips.
The tissue was then exposed to solution free of agonist, replacing the solution twice every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. After baseline tension was established and readjusted to 1 g, the tissue was exposed to bath solution containing the test compound, replacing the solution every 15 minutes for 60 minutes. In the presence of the test compound, the tissue again was exposed to either norepinephrine or phenylephrine in a cumulative concentration fashion, increasing the agonist concentration until a maximal or near maximal response was achieved.
The concentration ratio (CR) of agonist necessary to produce equiactive responses in the absence and presence of the test compound was determined. Relying on the concentration ratio, the assay concentration (molar) of the test compound, and the relationship: ##EQU1## the negative log of the dissociation constant (pA.sub.2) for each test compound at .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptors were estimated for both aortic tissue and urinary bladder tissue.
Proceeding as in Example 38, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to selectively inhibit the .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contractions of rabbit, isolated urinary bladder smooth muscle. In contrast, prazosin, an .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor antagonist that has been proscribed for treating BPH, selectively inhibited the .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contractions of rat, isolated aortic smooth muscle.
Example 39
.alpha..sub.1 -Adrenoceptor In Vitro, Functional Assay in Tissue Isolated from Human
The following describes in vitro assays for measuring the relative effect of test compounds on .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contractions of human, isolated arterial and urinary bladder smooth muscle.
Human arterial blood vessels were obtained post-mortem and immediately immersed in cold physiological saline solution. Within 24 hours of removal the isolated arterial tissue was placed in Krebs' solution (comprising in mM concentrations: NaCl, 118.5; NaHCO.sub.3, 25; dextrose, 5; KCl, 4.8; CaCl.sub.2, 2.5; MgSO.sub.4, 1.2; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 1.2; cocaine, 0.03; corticosterone, 0.03; propranolol, 0.001; ascorbic acid, 0.1; and indomethacin, 0.01). The arteries were dissected free from extraneous tissue and then cut into cross sectional rings approximately 3 mm in length. The arterial rings were suspended vertically in 10 mL tissue baths and bathed in Krebs' solution maintained at 37.degree. C. and constantly aerated with a 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 gas mixture. A resting tension of 1 to 1.5 g was applied to each ring and thereafter periodically readjusted to maintain a 1 g resting tension throughout the duration of the assay.
Human prostatic and bladder neck smooth muscle tissue was obtained following radical cystoprostatectomies or radical prostatectomies and immediately immersed in Krebs' solution. The prostatic and bladder tissue was dissected free from extraneous tissue and then strips of tissue 0.8 to 1.2 cm in length and 3 to 5 mm in width were cut and suspended vertically in 10 mL tissue baths and bathed in Krebs' solution maintained at 37.degree. C. and constantly aerated with a 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 gas mixture. A resting tension of 0.75 to 1 g was applied to each muscle strip and thereafter periodically readjusted to maintain a 1 g resting tension throughout the duration of the assay.
The arterial ring and prostatic and bladder neck strip preparations were allowed to equilibrate for 60 minutes during which period the bath solution was replaced every 15 minutes. The tissue was then exposed to bath solution containing norepinephrine (1 to 10 .mu.M) and once a steady state contraction was produced the tissue was exposed to bath solution free of norepinephrine, replacing the solution twice every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. The arterial ring and prostatic and bladder neck strip preparations were exposed to norepinephrine in a cumulative concentration fashion. That is, the isolated tissue was exposed to bath solution containing a threshold concentration of norepinephrine until a steady state contractile response was attained and then the concentration of norepinephrine was cumulatively increased by 0.5 log increments until a maximal or near maximal response was attained. Norepinephrine produced a concentration-dependent, .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contraction of the arterial ring and of the prostatic and bladder neck strip preparations.
The tissue was then exposed to solution free of norepinephrine, replacing the solution twice every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. After baseline tension was established and readjusted to 1 g, the tissue was exposed to bath solution containing the test compound, replacing the solution every 15 minutes for 60 minutes. In the presence of the test compound, the tissue again was exposed to norepinephrine in a cumulative concentration fashion, increasing the norepinephrine concentration until a maximal or near maximal response was achieved.
The concentration ratio (CR) of norepinephrine necessary to produce equiactive responses in the absence and presence of the test compound was determined. Relying on the concentration ratio, the assay concentration (molar) of the test compound, and the relationship: ##EQU2## the negative log of the dissociation constant (pA.sub.2) for each test compound at .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptors were estimated for the arterial ring and prostatic and bladder neck strip preparations.
Proceeding as in Example 39, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to selectively inhibit the .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor mediated contractions of human, isolated prostatic and bladder neck smooth muscle. In contrast, prazosin non-selectively inhibited the .alpha..sub.1 -adrenoceptor-mediated contractions of both human, isolated prostatic/bladder neck smooth muscle and isolated arterial smooth muscle.

Rat In Vivo, Blood Pressure Assay
The following describes an in vivo assay for measuring the effect of test compounds on blood pressure in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Normotensive or spontaneously hypertensive rats (0.25 to 0.45 kg) were fasted for 18 hours and anesthetized with ether. The right femoral vein was isolated and cannulated with a fluid filled polyethylene cannulae for bolus administration of test substances. The right femoral artery was isolated and cannulated with a fluid filled polyethylene cannula connected to an external pressure transducer for monitoring mean arterial blood pressure (MAP).
The rats were placed in restrainers and allowed to recover from anesthesia. Following a 30 minute period for stabilization, test compounds or vehicle were administered, i.v., and blood pressure was monitored continuously for at least 4 hours post-administration.
Proceeding as in Example 40, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to be considerably less potent than prazosin at producing blood pressure lowering effects.
Example 41
Rat In Vivo, Tilt-Response Assay
The following describes an in vivo assay in normotensive rats for measuring the propensity of test compounds to inhibit the reflex maintenance of basal blood pressure levels in response to vertical tilt.
Normotensive rats (0.25 to 0.45 kg) were fasted for 18 hours and anesthetized with ether. The right femoral vein was isolated and cannulated with a fluid filled polyethylene cannulae for bolus administration of test substances. The right femoral artery was isolated and cannulated with a fluid filled polyethylene cannula connected to an external pressure transducer for monitoring mean arterial blood pressure (MAP).
The rats were restrained in a supine position and allowed to recover from anesthesia. Following a 30 minute period for stabilization, test compounds or vehicle were administered, i.v., and blood pressure was monitored continuously while the rats were tilted vertically at 30 to 60 degrees from supine at 15, 30 and 45 minutes post-administration.
Proceeding as in Example 41, compounds of Formula I were tested and found to be considerably less potent than prazosin at inhibiting the reflex maintenance of basal blood pressure levels in response to vertical tilt.
Example 42
Dog In Vivo, Blood and Intraurethral 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.
Mongrel dogs (10 to 20 kg) were fasted for 12 to 18 hours and anesthetized with phenobarbital sodium (35 mg/kg, i.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 a least 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 (20-50 V, 10 Hz, 10 msec pulse train for 10 sec) to induce a measurable increase in IUP and then phenylephrine (PE) was administered by bolus injection (0.5 to 0.6 .mu.g/kg, i.v.) to induce a measurable increase in DUP. The HGN stimulation and PE bolus injection were repeated every 5 minutes until three consecutive reproducible increases in IUP and DAP were achieved. Vehicle (0.1 to 0.3 mL/kg) was administered and 20 minutes later the HGN stimulation and PE bolus injection were repeated. Test compound was then administered and 20 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 was attained.
Proceeding as in Example 42, 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 a similar fashion.
