Such salts may be used in preparing pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compounds and their salts may be obtained as solvates, such as hydrates, and these also form part of this invention.
The above compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, especially the hydrochloride, and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, especially hydrates, form a preferred aspect of the present invention.
The administration of such compounds to a mammal may be by way of oral, parenteral, sub-lingual, nasal, rectal, topical or transdermal administration.
An amount effective to treat the disorders hereinbefore described depends on the usual factors such as the nature and severity of the disorders being treated and the weight of the mammal. However, a unit dose will normally contain 1 to 1000 mg, suitably 1 to 500 mg, for example an amount in the range of from 2 to 400 mg such as 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg of the active compound. Unit doses will normally be administered once or more than once per day, for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times a day, more usually 1 to 4 times a day, such that the total daily dose is normally in the range, for a 70 kg adult of 1 to 1000 mg, for example 1 to 500 mg, that is in the range of approximately 0.01 to 15 mg/kg/day, more usually 0.1 to 6 mg/kg/day, for example 1 to 6 mg/kg/day.
It is greatly preferred that the compound of formula is administered in the form of a unit-dose composition, such as a unit dose oral, including sub-lingual, rectal, topical or parenteral (especially intravenous) composition.
-8- WO 98/41508 PCT/GB98/00782 Such compositions are prepared by admixture and are suitably adapted for oral or parenteral administration, and as such may be in the form of tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, reconstitutable powders, injectable and infusable solutions or suspensions or suppositories. Orally administrable compositions are preferred, in particular shaped oral compositions, since they are more convenient for general use.
Tablets and capsules for oral administration are usually presented in a unit dose, and contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, fillers, diluents, tabletting agents, lubricants, disintegrants, colorants, flavourings, and wetting agents. The tablets may be coated according to well known methods in the art.
Suitable fillers for use include cellulose, mannitol, lactose and other similar agents.
Suitable disintegrants include starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone and starch derivatives such as sodium starch glycollate. Suitable lubricants include, for example, magnesium stearate.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable wetting agents include sodium lauryl sulphate.
These solid oral compositions may be prepared by conventional methods of blending, filling, tabletting or the like. Repeated blending operations may be used to distribute the active agent throughout those compositions employing large quantities of fillers. Such operations are, of course, conventional in the art.
Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups, or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol, syrup, methyl cellulose, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminium stearate gel or hydrogenated edible fats, emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), for example, almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, oily esters such as esters of glycerine, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid, and if desired conventional flavouring or colouring agents. Oral formulations also include conventional sustained release formulations, such as tablets or granules having an enteric coating.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dose forms are prepared containing the compound and a sterile vehicle. The compound, depending on the vehicle and the concentration, can be either suspended or dissolved. Parenteral solutions are normally prepared by dissolving -9l WO 98/41508 PCT/GB98/00782 the compound in a vehicle and filter sterilising before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservatives and buffering agents are also dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum.
Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound of the invention.
As is common practice, the compositions will usually be accompanied by written or printed directions for use in the medical treatment concerned.

Reaction of a compound of formula (III) which is an acid chloride (Y=C1) will lead directly to the hydrochloride salt. Suitable solvents include ethyl acetate or dichloromethane, optionally in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. When the compound of formula (III) is an aromatic acid conventional conditions for =condensation of such acids with amines may be used, for example reacting the WO 98/41508 PCT/GB98/00782 components in a mixture of (dimethylaminopropyl)-ethylcarbodiimide/hydroxybenzotriazole in a suitable solvent such as dimethyl formamide.
Conversions of an R 1 A or R 2A group to a R 1 or R 2 group typically arise when a protecting group is needed during the above coupling reaction or during the preparation of the reactants by the procedures described below. Interconversion of one R1 or R2 group to another typically arises when one compound of formula is used as the immediate precursor of another compound of formula or when it is easier to introduce a more complex or reactive substituent at the end of a synthetic sequence.
Compounds of formula (lI) in which X is hydrogen may be prepared from a nitrotetrahydroisoquinoline of formula (IV).
by reaction with a compound R1AZ where Z is a leaving group such as halogen, especially iodo, or tosylate to obtain an intermediate of formula (V) which can be reduced, for example using either tin (II) chloride and HCL or hydrogen and a palladium/activated carbon catalyst, to obtain an amino-tetrahydroisoquinoline of formula When the intended group is methyl, the compound of formula (IV) may also be reacted with formic acid and formaldehyde to introduce the N-methyl group.
The nitro-tetrahydroisoquinoline of formula (IV) may be prepared by hydrolysis of 2trifluoroacetyl-nitro-tetrahydroisoquinoline obtained by reaction of an N- (nitrophenyl)ethyl-trifluoroacetamide and parafonnaldehyde in acidic conditions using the procedure of Stokker, TetLett.,1996, 37, 5453.

When the intended R 1 is hydrogen, the N of the tetrahydroisoquinoline or isoquinoline is preferably protected conventionally, prior to the coupling step that forms the carboxamide of formula for example by tert.-butoxycarbonyl or trifluoroacetyl. The compound can be deprotected under standard conditions, for example using trifluoroacetic acid/methylene chloride.
Amino/nitro-isoquinolines of formulae (VI) and the reagents used are commercially available, or can be prepared from commercially available materials using conventional procedures described in the literature.

Most suitably the substituent X is introduced to a compound of formula (II) in which X is hydrogen. For example X as halogen may be incorporated via an amino group using Sandmeyer chemistry as illustrated in the descriptions below.
Compounds of formula may be prepared by further substitution of commercially available benzoic acid or thiophene carboxylic acid derivatives using conventional procedures, or by oxidation of corresponding substituted benzyl alcohols. Alternatively benzoic acids can be prepared from correpondingly substituted phenols, for example by formation of the acetate, conversion to an acetophenone and then to the desired acid.
Where the above described intermediates are novel compounds, they also form part of this invention.

PHARMACOLOGICAL DATA 1. Binding Assay Method WO 92/22293 (Smidtdine Beecham) discloses compounds having anti-convulsant activity, including inter alia the compound trans-(+)-6-acetyl-4S-(4-fluorobenzoylainino)- 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-3R-oI (hereinafter referred to as Compound It has been found that the compounds of WO 92/22293 bind to a novel receptor obtainable from rat forebrain tissue, as described in WO 96/18650 (SmithKline Beecham).
The affinity of test compounds to the novel receptor site is assessed as follows.
Method Whole forebrain tissue is obtained from rats. The tissue is first homogenised in buffer (usually 50mM Tris/HCl, pH The homogenised tissue is washed by centrifugation and resuspension in the same buffer, then stored at -70 0 C until used.
-57 WO 98/41508 PCT/GB98/00782 To carry out the radioligand binding assay, aliquots of tissue prepared as above (usually at a concentration of 1-2mg-protein/ml) are mixed with aliquots of [3H]-Compound A dissolved in buffer. The final concentration of [3H]-Compound A in the mixture is usually The mixture is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. [3H]-Compound A bound to the tissue is then separated from unbound [3H]-Compound A by filtration through Whatman GF/B glass fibre filters. The filters are then washed rapidly with ice-cold buffer. The amount of radioactivity bound to the tissue trapped on the filters is measured by addition of liquid scintillation cocktail to the filters followed by counting in a liquid scintillation counter.
In order to determine the amount of "specific" binding of [3H]-Compound A, parallel assays are carried out as above in which [3H]-Compound A and tissue are incubated together in the presence of unlabelled Compound A (usually 3 pM). The amount of.
binding of [3H]-Compound A remaining in the presence of this unlabelled compound is defined as "non-specific" binding. This amount is subtracted from the total amount of [3H]-Compound A binding that present in the absence of unlabelled compound) to obtain the amount of "specific" binding of [3H]-Compound A to the novel site.
The affinity of the binding of test compounds to the novel site can be estimated by incubating together [3H]-Compound A and tissue in the presence of a range of concentrations of the compound to be tested. The decrease in the level of specific [3H]- Compound A binding as a result of competition by increasing concentrations of the compound under test is plotted graphically, and non-linear regression analysis of the resultant curve is used to provide an estimate of compound affinity in terms of pKi value.
Results Compounds of this invention were active in this test. For example, compounds of Examples 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 13 gave pKi values greater than 7.
2. MEST Test The maximal electroshock seizure (MEST) threshold test in rodents is particularly sensitive for detecting potential anticonvulsant propertiesl. In this model, anticonvulsant agents elevate the threshold to electrically-induced seizures whilst proconvulsants lower the seizure threshold.
-58- 1. WO 98/41508 PCT/GB98/00782 Method for mouse model Mice (naive male, Charles River, U.K. CD-1 strain, 25 30g) are randomly assigned to groups of 10 20 and dosed orally or intraperitoneally at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg with various doses of compound (0.3 300 mg/kg) or vehicle. Mice are then subjected at 30 or min post dose to a single electroshock (0.1 sec, 50Hz, sine wave form) administered via corneal electrodes. The mean current and standard error required to induce a tonic seizure in 50% (CC 5 0 of the mice in a particular treatment group is determined by the 'up and down' method of Dixon and Mood (1948)2. Statistical comparisons between vehicleand drug-treated groups are made using the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949)3.
In control animals the CC 5 0 is usually 14 18 mA. Hence the first animal in the control group is subjected to a current of 16 mA. If a tonic seizure does not ensue, the current is increased for a subsequent mouse. If a tonic convulsion does occur, then the current is decreased, and so on until all the animals in the group have been tested.
Studies are carried out using a Hugo Sachs Electronik Constant Current Shock Generator with totally variable control of shock level from 0 to 300 mA and steps of 2 mA are usually used.
Results Compounds of this invention dosed at 10 mg/kg by the oral route as a suspension in methyl cellulose and tested one hour post dosing showed an increase in seizure threshold.
For example, the compounds of Examples 4, 5, 6 and 7 show increases of 24%, 36%, and 23% respectively.
Method for rat model The threshold for maximal (tonic hindlimb extension) electroshock seizures in male rats (Sprague Dawley, 80 150g, 6 weeks old) was determined by a Hugo Sachs Electronik stimulator which delivered a constant current (0.3 sec duration; from 1-300mA in steps of 5-20mA). The procedure is similar to that outlined above for mouse and full details are as published by Upton et al,.
4 The percentage increase or decrease in CC 5 0 for each group compared to the control is calculated.
-59- P:OPER\MKR\SPEC64128-98 197.doc-I/07/01 Drugs are suspended in 1% methyl cellulose.
Results At a dosage of 2 mg/kg p.o. at 2h, the compounds of Examples 48, 49, 51 and 67 show increases of 389%, 325%, 545% and 303% increases respectively.
