Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a phenyltriazole derivative which is useful as an active ingredient 5 of pharmaceutical preparations.
  • the phenyltriazole derivative of the present invention has ⁇ - aminobutyric acid receptor (GABA B receptor) agonistic activity, and can be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of diseases associated with GABA B receptor activity, in particular for the treatment of overactive bladder, urinary incontinence such as urge urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia,spasticity and motor control, pain, epilepsy, cognitive defects, psychiatric 10 disorders, alcohol dependence and withdrawal, feeding behaviour, cardiovascular, respirator ⁇ ' disorders and gastrointestinal disorders.
  • GABA B receptor ⁇ - aminobutyric acid receptor
  • GABA B receptors are the first example of G protein-coupled receptors where heteromerization of two receptor subtypes has been demonstrated to be necessary for normal - function (Jones et a/., 15 Nature, (1998) 396, 674- 679); Kaupmann et al., Nature, (199S) 396, 683-687; Kuner et a/. Science, (1999) 283, 74-77).
  • GABA B R1 and R2 there are two GABA B receptor subtypes known, GABA B R1 and R2.
  • GABA B Rla and Rib which heterodimerize with the R2 subunit. Pharmacologically, the different splice forms of GABA B R1 could not be distinguished (Kaupmann 20 et al., Nature, (1997) 386,239-246.
  • GABA B receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems (see Ong and Ke ⁇ , Life Sciences, (1990) 46,1489-1501; Bower ⁇ ' et al., Drug Res. (1992) 42(1), 2a, 215-223), and are thus involved in the regulation of a wide variety of neurally-controlled physiological responses, from memory and learning to muscle contraction.
  • GABA B receptor a 25 target for pharmaceutical agents intended to treat central and peripheral neural disorders
  • GABA B agonists and antagonists are known and have been proposed for use in therapy including pain, spasticity and motor control, epilepsy, cognitive defects, psychiatric disorders, alcohol dependence and withdrawal, feeding behaviour, cardiovascular, respiratory disorders and gastrointestinal disorders

  • baclofen given intrathecally is used clinically for reducing uYethral resistance and detrusor overactivity associated with spasticity (Steers et al.,- J. Urol., 148, 1849- 1855,1992; Mertens et al., Ada Neurochir., 64, 17-25 1995).
  • the main effect of baclofen within the central nervous system is to reduce transmitter release.
  • GABA B system is involved in the micturition control, both in animals and human.
  • a potent and selective GABA B agonist can provide therapeutic benefit in the treatment of urinary bladder dysfunction as well as other indications described above.
  • GABA B agonists are also known to have smooth muscle relaxation action, thus a potent and selective GABA B agonist can provide therapeutic benefit in the treatment of BPH.
  • UUI is the involuntary loss of urine.
  • UUI is one of the most common types of UI together with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which is usually caused by a defect in the uretliral closure mechanism.
  • UUI is often associated with neurological disorders or diseases causing neuronal damages such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and diabetes, although it also occurs in individuals with no such disorders.
  • One of the usual causes of UUI is overactive bladder (OAB) which is a medical condition referring to the symptoms of frequency and urgency derived from abnormal contractions and instability of the detrusor muscle.
  • OAB overactive bladder
  • BPH Benign prostatic hyperplasia
  • BPH is the benign nodular hyperplasia of the periurethral prostate gland commonly seen in men over the age of 50. The overgrowth occurs in the central area of the prostate called the transition zone, which wraps around the urethra. BPH causes variable degrees of bladder outlet obstruction - resulting in progressive lower urinary tract syndromes (LUTS) characterized by urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia due to incomplete emptying and rapid refilling of the bladder. The actual cause of BPH is unknown but may involve age-related alterations in balance of steroidal sex hormones.
  • LUTS progressive lower urinary tract syndromes
  • the selective ⁇ l-adrenoceptor antagonists such as prazosin, ind ⁇ ramin and tamsulosin are used as an adjunct in the symptomatic treatment of urinary obstruction caused by BPH, although they do not affect on the underlying cause of BPH.
  • BPH increased sympathetic tone exacerbates the degree of obstruction of the urethra through contraction of prostatic and urethral smooth muscle.
  • These compounds inhibit sympathetic activity, thereby relaxing the smooth muscle of the urinary tract.
  • Uroselective ⁇ l -antagonists and ⁇ l -antagonists with high tissue selectivity for lower urinary tract smooth muscle that do not provoke hypotensive side-effects should be developed for the treatment.
  • Drugs blocking dihydrotestosterone have been used to reduce the size of the prostate.
  • 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitors such as finasteride are prescribed for BPH. These agents selectively inhibit 5 ⁇ -reductase which mediates conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, thereby reducing plasma dihydrotestosterone levels and thus prostate growth.
  • the 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitors do not bind to. androgen receptors and do not affect testosterone levels nor do they possess feminizing side- effects.
  • Androgen receptor antagonists are used for the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia due to excessive action or production of testosterone.
  • Various antiandrogens are under investigation for BPH including chlomiadione derivatives with no estrogenic activity, orally-active aromatase inhibitors, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues.
