This is a continll~tion-in-part of U.S. Application serial
number 08/032,849, filed on March 15, 1993, pending.

BACKGROUND OF THE ~VENTION

i. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to a method for defining the potency
and selectivity of compounds for use as hllm~n alphalC adrenergic
receptor antagonists using cloned hllm~n alpha 1 receptors. The
invention also relates to the cloned receptors themselves, to compounds
15 identified according to the method of this invention, and to methods of
use of such compounds, alone or in combination with other agents.
Particularly preferred are combinations of compounds identified
according to this invention and testosterone 5-alpha reductase inhibitors,
to alleviate pathologic conditions, particularly benign prostatic
20 hyperplasia (also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH).

ii. Background:
Human adrenergic receptors are integral membrane
proteins which have been classified into two broad classes, the alpha and
25 the beta adrenergic receptors. Both types mediate the action of the
peripheral sympathetic nervous system upon binding of catechol~mines,
norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Norepinephrine is produced by adrenergic nerve endings,
while epinephrine is produced by the adrenal medulla. The binding
30 affinity of adrenergic receptors for these compounds forms one basis of
the classification: alpha receptors bind norepinephrine more strongly
than epinephrine and much more strongly than the synthetic compound
isoproterenol. The binding affinity of these hormones is reversed for
the beta receptors. In many tissues, the functional responses, such as

WO 94/21660 2 ~ ~ ~ 3 4 5 PCTIUS94tO2609



smooth muscle contract`ion, induced by alpha receptor activation are
opposed to responses induced by beta receptor binding.
Subsequently, the functional distinction between alpha and
beta receptors was further highlighted and refined by the
pharmacological characterization of these receptors from various
~nim~l and tissue sources. As a result, alpha and beta adrenergic
receptors were further subdivided into a1, a2, ~1, and ~2 subtypes.
Functional differences between oc1 and a2 receptors have been
recognized, and compounds which exhibit selective binding between
these two subtypes have been developed. Thus, in WO 92/0073, the
selective ability of the R(+) enantiomer of terazosin to selectively bind
to adrenergic receptors of the alpha 1 subtype was reported. The al/a2
selectivity of this compound was disclosed as being significant because
agonist stim~ tion of the a2 receptors was said to inhibit secretion of
epinephrine and norepinephrine, while antagonism of the a2 receptor
was said to increase secretion of these ho~nones. Thus, the use of non-
selective alpha-adrenergic blockers, such as phenoxyben7~mine and
phentol~mine, is limited by their a2 adrenergic receptor mediated
induction of increased plasma catecholamine concentration and the
attendant physiological sequelae (increased heart rate and smooth muscle
contraction).
For a general background on the a-adrenergic receptors,
the reader's attention is directed to Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr., ~c-
Adrenoreceptors: Molecular Biolo~y~ Biochemistry and Pharmacolo~y.
(Progress in Basic and Clinical Ph~rm~colo~y series, Karger, 1991),
wherein the basis of ocl/a2 subclassification, the molecular biology,
signal transduction (G-protein interaction and location of the significant
site for this and ligand binding activity away from the 3'-terminus of
alpha adrenergic receptors), agonist structure-activity relationships,
receptor functions, and therapeutic applications for compounds
exhibiting a-adrenergic receptor affinity was explored.
The cloning, sequencing and expression of alpha receptor
subtypes from ~nim~l tissues has led to the subclassification of the al
receptors into a1A, (Lomasney, et al., J. Biol. Chem.. ~:6365-6369

WO 94121660 2 1 5 8 3 ~ ~ PCT/US94/02609



(1991), rat a1A; Bruno et al., BBRC. 179:1485-1490 (1991), hllm~n

alg; Libert, et al., Science. (1989), dog a1g; Ramarao, et al., J. Biol.
Chem.. 267:21936-21945 (1992), hllm~n alB)~ and most recently, in a
5 study using bovine brain, a new alC subtype was proposed (Schwinn, et
al.. J. Biol. Chem.. 265:8183-8189, 1990; Hirasawa et al., BBRC
195:902-909 (1993), desc~ibed the cloning, functional expression and
tissue distribution of a hllm~n alC adrenergic receptor; Hoehe et al.,
Human Mol. Genetics 1(5):349 (8/92) noted the existence of a two-allele
o Pstl restriction fragment polymorphism in the a1C adrenergic receptor
gene; another study suggests that there may even be an alpha-lD
receptor subtype, see Perez et al., Mol. Pharm.., 40:876-883, 1992).
Each al receptor subtype exhibits its own pharmacologic and tissue
specificities. Schwinn and coworkers noted that the cloned bovine alC
15 receptor exhibited ph~rm~cological properties proposed for the alA
subtype. Nonetheless, based on its non-expression in tissues where the
alA subtype is expressed, and its sensitivity to chloroethylclonidine, the
receptor was given a new designation.
The differences in the a-adrenergic receptor subtypes have
20 relevance in pathophysiologic conditions. Benign prostatic
hypertrophy, BPH, is an illness typically affecting men over fifty years
of age, increasing in severity with increasing age. The symptoms of the
condition include, but are not limted to, increased difficulty in urination
and sexual dysfunction. These sylllpLollls are induced by enlargement,
25 or hypertrophy, of the prostate gland. As the prostate increases in size,
it impinges on free-flow of fluids through the male urethra.
Concommitantly, the increased noradrenergic innervation of the
enlarged prostate leads to an increased adrenergic tone of the bladder
neck and urethra, further restricting the flow of urine through the
30 urethra.
The mech~ni~m of prostatic hypertrophy is well
understood. The male hormone, 5a-dihydrotestosterone has been
identified as the principal culprit. The contiml~l production of 5a-
dihydrotestosterone by the male testes induces incremental growth of

WO 94/21660 ~ 15 8 3 ~ 5 PCT/US94/02609



the prostate gland throughout the life of the male. Beyond the age of
about fifty years, in many-men, this enlarged gland begins to obstruct
the urethra with the pathologic s~lllptolns noted above.
The elucidation of the mech~ni~m sllmm~rized above has
5 resulted in the recent development of effective agents to control, and in
many cases reverse, the pernicious advance of BPH. In the forefront of
these agents is Merck & Co., Inc.s' product PROSCAR(~) (finasteride).
The effect of this compound is to inhibit the enzyme testosterone 5-
alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into Sa-dihydrotesterone,
resulting in a reduced rate of prostatic enlargement, and often reduction
in prostatic mass.
The development of such agents as PROSCAR(~ bodes well
for the long-teFm control of BPH. However, as may be appreciated
from the lengthy development of the syndrome, its reversal also is not
15 immediate. In the interim, those males ~urrt;lillg with BPH continue to
suffer, and may in fact lose hope that the agents are working sufficiently
rapidly.
In response to this problem, one solution is to identify
ph~rm~reutically active compounds which complement slower-acting
20 therapeutics by providing acute relief. Agents which induce relaxation
of the urethral smooth muscle, by binding to alpha-1 adrenergic
receptors, thus reducing ~e increased adrenergic tone due to the
disease, would be good c~n~l1d~tes for this activity. Thus, one such
agent is alfuzosin, which is reported in EP 0 204597 to induce urination
25 in cases of prostatic hypertrophy. Likewise, in WO 92/0073, the
selective ability of the R(+) enantiomer of terazosin to bind to
adrenergic receptors of the al subtype was reported. In addition, in
WO 92/161213, hereby incorporated by reference, combinations of 5-
alpha-reductase inhibitory compounds and alphal-adrenergic receptor
blockers (terazosin, doxazosin, prazosin, bunazosin, indoramin,
3 alfuzosin) were disclosed. However, no information as to the alA,
a1B, or a1C subtype specificity of these compounds was provided as
these refinements were not yet available. The instant invention changes
this situation by providing a cloned hllm~n a1C adrenergic receptor and

WO 94/21660 PCT/US94/02609
2i583~5


a method for idellliryillg compounds which bind the hllm~n oc1c
receptor. ~ `
Typically, identification of active compounds is through use
of ~nim~l tissues known to be enriched in adrenergic receptors. Thus,
rat tissues have been used to screen for potential adrenergic receptor
antagonists. However, bec~llce of species variability, compounds which
appear active in ~nim~l tissue may not be active or sufficiently selective
in hllm~n~. This results in substantial wastage of time and effort,
particularly where high volume compound screening programs are
employed. There is also the danger that compounds, which might be
highly effective in hllm~nc, would be missed because of their absence of
appreciable affinity for the heterologous ~nim~l receptors. In this
regard, it has been noted that even single amino acid changes between
the sequence of biologically active proteins in one species may give rise
to substantial ph~rm~cological differences. Thus, Fong et al., (J. Biol.
Chem.~ 267:25668-25671, 1992) showed that there are 22 divergent
amino acid residues between the sequence of the hllm~n neurokinin-l
receptor and the homologous rat receptor. They further showed, in
studies with mllt~nt receptors, that substitution of only two amino acid
residues was both necessary and sufficient to reproduce the rat
receptor's antagonist binding ar~ iLy in the hllm~n receptor. Oksenberg
et al., (Nature. 360:161-163, 1992) showed that a single amino-acid
difference confers major pharmacological variation between the hllm~n
and the rodent 5-hydroxytrypt~mine receptors. Likewise, Kuhse et al.,
(Neuron. 5:867-~73, 1990) showed that a single amino-acid exçh~n~e
alters the ph~rm~cology of the neonatal rat glycine receptor subunit.
This difficulty and unpredictability has resulted in a need for a
compound screen which will identify compounds that will be active in
hllm~n.c.
The in~t~nt inventors have solved these problems by
cloning a novel hllm~n adrenergic receptor of the a1C subtype. Their
efforts have led to the development of a novel screening assay which
enables them to identify compounds which specifically interact with the
hllm~n o~lC adrenergic receptor. Marshall et al (Br. J. Pharm.,

WO 94/21660 PCTNS94/02609
21583~ ~


107:327 (1992)) speculated that compounds which specifically interact
with the alC adrenergic receptor may be responsible for contraction of
the hllm~n prostate. The instant invention provides a method for
identifying compounds which bind ~e hllm~n alC receptor. In
addition, if the compounds are further tested for binding to other 1.
hllm~n alpha 1 receptor subtypes, as well as counterscreened against
other types of receptors, the specificity of the compounds for the hllm~n
alC adrenergic receptor may be defined.
Compounds identified according to this invention may be
used to reduce the acute symptoms of BPH. New agents identified in
this m~nnt~.r, or already known agents showing activity in this assay,
may now be employed in a novel way to help BPH ~ufrerers contend
with the acute symptoms of the syndrome. Thus, this invention is useful
to identify compounds which may be used alone or in conjunction with a
lS more long-term anti-BPH therapeutics, such as PROSCAR(~. Other
uses for ~e invention include identi~lcation of compounds which induce
highly tissue-specific, localized alC adrenergic receptor blockade.
Effects of ~is blockade include reduction of intra-ocular pressure,
control of cardiac arrhythmias, and possibly a host of alpha-lC receptor
mediated central nervous system events. In addition, the cloned alC
receptor can be used for screening of tissue specific expression of ~lC
adrenergic receptors. Effects such as these, induced by or available to
analysis with the alC adrenergic receptor also form part of this
invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The hllm~n alpha adrenergic receptor of the 1-C subtype
was i(lentified, cloned and expressed by the instant inventors. A partial
25 coding region for this receptor was generated by reverse transcriptase-
polymerase chain reaction technology, RT-PCR. Accordingly,
degenerate oligonucleotides encoding amino acids conserved in the fifth
and sixth transmembrane domains of all three al receptor subtypes (A,
B, C) were used to prime RT-PCR reactions using hllm~n heart mRNA
30 as template. The predicted sized products were cloned and sequenced.
Tr~n~l~tion of the amplified cDNA yielded an open reading frame
encoding a protein 95~o homologous to the bovine alC receptor (Fig.2,
SEQ. ID:~: and SEQ. ID:6:). This partial sequence was used to obtain a
larger cDNA clone from a hllm~n hippocampus library (Fig. 3, SEQ.

WO 94/21660 PCT/US94102609

-- 10 --
ID:6:). The rem~inin~ coding region was ~btained by PCR
amplification of hllm~n genomic DNA using primers based on the
cDNA sequence and the last six amino acids of bovine alC receptor
(Fig. 4, SEQ.ID:10:). The complete receptor was then assembled using
5 the partial sequences shown in Fig. 3, SEQ.ID:6: and Fig. 4, SEQ.
ID:10:, to generate the sequence shown in Fig. 5, SEQ. ID:11:. The
translation of this sequence is shown in Fig. 6, SEQ. ID:12:, and the
~lignment of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences, and the 5'-
untranslated sequences, is shown in Fig. 7, SEQ. ID: 11: and SEQ.
ID-12-
- The 3'-terminal six amino acids of the hllm~n a1C
adrenergic receptor were confirmed by screening a hllm~n genomic
library with the radiolabeled 3'-terminal 512 nucleotides of the SEQ.
ID:10: clone previously obtained. A complete hllm~n exon 2 was
15 generated in this manner and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of
this gene is provided in figure 19, SEQ. ID:27: and the amino acid
sequence is provided in figure 20, SEQ. ID:28:. We discovered that this
clone was identical to the original 3'-terminal portion of the gene,
except that:
2 0 1 ) There are five silent nucleotide changes between the new clone and
the previously obtained clone (the last f;ve codons, including the stop
codon, each have a silent change in the third nucleotide); and
2) At nucleotide position 1636 (amino acid 347), there is a cytosine to
thymine base change resul~ng in the formation of a Pstl site at that
25 location and a concommit~n~ single amino acid change of Arg to Cys.
Thus, we have confirmed and localized the site of the two-allele Pstl
restriction fragment polymoIphism (RFLP) noted by Hoehe et al.,
~Human Mol. Genetics. 1 (5):349 (8/92)]. Through ph~ cological
studies using clones of both alleles, we have confirmed that the Arg to
0 Cys change appear to be ph~rm~rologically indistinguishable (see Table
II, Example 11, below).
The cloned hl-m~n alC receptor, when expressed in
m~mm~ n cell lines (see Fig. 8), is used to discover ligands that bind
to ~e receptor and alter its function. In addition, the cloned al C

receptor enables quanititation of mRNA levels in hllm~n tissues,
including the aorta and prostate, by RNase protection assays. For these
purposes, a complete coding sequence of the receptor is provided.
However, as long as the ligand binding and signal transduction segments
5 of the receptor (G-protein interaction) are intact, truncation at the 3'
end of the sequence does not affect the functioning of the receptor.
Thus, in addition to the sequence provided in SEQ. ID: 11:, a sequence,
truncated at the 3' end, SEQ. ID:26: is disclosed, which consists entirely
of human alphalC sequence.
The specificty of binding of compounds showing affinity
for the alC receptor is shown by comparing affinity to membranes
obtained from COS cells tranfected with the cloned alC receptor and
membranes from tissues known to express other types of alpha or beta
adrenergic receptors. In addition, the cloned hllm~n alA and a hybrid
hllm~n/rat alB (with only the cytoplasmic, carboxy termin~l region
being rat sequence) could be used for this purpose, along with the
hllm~n alC receptor expressed in COS cells . Expression of the cloned
hllm~n alA, alB, and alC receptors and comparison of their binding
properties with known selective antagonists provides a rational way for
20 selection of compounds and discovery of new compounds with
predictable ph~nn~cological activities.
Once the hllm~n receptor is cloned and expressed in a cell
such as COS cells or CHO cells, the receptor is free of other hllm~n
proteins. The membranes from cells expressing different hllm~n alpha
25 adrenergic receptor subtypes are then isolated according to methods
well known in the art for membrane associated receptor binding assays.
For example, the method of Schwinn, et al., (J. Biol. Chem.. 265:8183-
8189, 1990) may be used. A compound of interest is used to compete
with the binding of a known, qll~ntifi~ble alpha receptor ligand. Thus,
30 radiolabled prazosin, niguldipine, 5-methyl urapidil, terazosin,
dozazosin, phenoxyben7~mine, WB4101, benox~thi~n, HEAT (2-[~-(4-
hydroxy-3-iodophenyl)ethylaminomethyl]tetralone, or phentol~mine
may be used for this purpose (see, for example, Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr.,

Pharmacolo~y. (Progress in Basic and Clinical Pharmacolo~y series,
Karger, 1991), page 29). Because of the ease of 125Iodine detection,
125I-HEAT may be preferred for ~is purpose. By increasing the
amount of unlabeled, test compound, the labeled compound is competed
5 off the receptor. From these experiments, Ic50 values for each test
compound and receptor subtype is dele,ll,illed.
Thus, according to this invention, a method is provided for
identifying compounds specific for the hllm~n alphalC receptor
comprising the following steps:

a. Cloning the hllm~n alphalC adrenerglc receptor;
b. Splicing the the cloned alphalC adrenergic receptor into an
expression vector to produce a construct such that the alphalC receptor
is operably linked to transcription and translation signals sufficient to
15 induce expression of said receptor upon introduction of said construct
into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell;
c. Introducing said construct into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell which
does not express a hllm~n alphalC adrenergic receptor in the absence of
said introduced construct;
20 d. Incubating cells or membranes isolated from cells produced in step c.
with a qll~ntifi~ble compound known to bind to hllm~n alpha adrenergic
receptors, and subsequently ~lclin~ test compounds at a range of
concentrations so as to compete the qll~ntifi~ble compound from the
receptor, such that an ICso for the test compound is obtained as the
25 concentration of test compound at which 50% of the qll~ntifi~ble
compound becomes displaced from the receptor;
e. Incubating cells or membranes of cells which naturally express or
have an introduced, cloned hllm~n alpha adrenregic receptor of a
subtype other than the hllm~n alphalC receptor under identical
conditions to the incubation conducted in step d, and obt~inin~ the IC50
of the test compound for the non-alphalC receptor; and
f. Comparing ~e IC50 for ~e test compound for the alphalC receptor
and for the alpha adrenergic receptor of a subtype other than the

alphalC to identify compounds having a lower IC50 for the alphalC
receptor.
In addition to providing a sequence for the hllm~n al C
adrenergic receptor, the instant inventors have also discovered a
different sequence than that reported by Bruno et al., rBBRC 179:1485-
1490 (1991)] for the human alA adrenergic receptor. The new
sequence is more homologous to the rat alA adrenergic receptor
sequence. Disclosed and claimed herein is the sequence for this new
hllm~n alA adrenergic receptor (see Fx~mple 12 and figures 22, 23,
and 24, SEQ. ID:29: and SEQ. ID:30:). While no difference in ligand
binding has thus far been observed based on the dirre-~l-t amino
terminal amino acid sequences between these two receptors, such
differences cannot be ruled out except by screening compounds against
both clones. Since a new hllm~n sequence is provided herein,
compounds illenti~ed according to the method of this invention using
the earlier reported hllm~n alA adrenergic receptor sequence can now
be collfi-,ned against this clone.
As a result of the cloning, sequencing, expression, and
screening efforts described above and further exemplified below,
numerous compounds have been tested for their ability to specifically
bind to the cloned hllm~n alC receptor with high affinity. Compounds
specific for the hllm~n alpha lC adrenergic receptor, that is compounds
having an ~îril.ily for the hllm~n alpha lC receptor that is at least 12
fold greater than for either the hllm~n alpha lA or the hllm~n alpha lB
receptors, are identified by this method. Thus, the compounds S(+)
niguldipine, (S(+)-1,4-Dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-
pyridinedicarboxylic acid 3-(4,4-diphenyl-1-piperidinyl)-propyl methyl
ester hydrochloride), and 5-methyl urapidil (5-methyl-6[[3-[4-(2-
methoxyphenyl)-l-piperazinyl]propyl]amino]-1,3-dimethyluracil) have
been discovered to selectively bind to the hllm~n alC adrenergic
receptor. These compounds may be ~lminictered in dosages effective to
antagonize the alphalC receptor where such treatment is needed, as in
BPH.

Compounds identified according to the method of this
invention as being selective h~-rn~n al C adrenergic receptor antagonists
may fur~er be defined by counterscreening. This is accomplished
according to methods known in the art.using other receptors responsible
5 for mediating diverse biological functions Compounds which are both
selective amongst the various h~ n alphal adrenergic receptor
subtypes and which have low affinity for other receptors, such as the
alpha2 adrenergic receptors, the ~-adrenergic receptors, the muscarinic
receptors, the serotonin receptors, and others are particularly
preferred. The absence of these non-specific activities may be
confirmed by using cloned and expressed receptors in an analogous
fashion to the method disclosed herein for identifying compounds which
have high affinity for the various hll~m~n alphal adrenergic receptors.
Furthermore, functional biological tests are used to confirm the effects
15 of identified compounds as alphalC adrenergic receptor antagonists.
Compounds identified according to this patent disclosure
may be used alone at a~r~liate dosages defined by routine testing in
order to obtain optimal inhibition of the human alC adrenergic
receptor while minimi7.in~ any potential toxicity. In addition, co-
20 ?~lmini~tration or sequential ~lmini~tration of other agents whichalleviate the effects of BPH is desirable. Thus, in one embodiment, this
includes ~lmini~tration of compounds identified according to this
disclosure and a hllm~n testosterone 5-a reductase inhibitor. Many such
compounds are now well known in the art and include such compounds
25 as PROSCAR~, (also lmown as finasteride, a 4-Aza-steroid; see US
Patents 4,377,584 and 4,760,071, for example, hereby incorporated by
reference). In addition to PROSCAR~, which is principally active in
prostatic tissue due to its selectiv*y for hllm~n 5-a reductase isozyme 2,
combinations of compounds which are specifically active in inhibiting
30 isozyme 1 (found particularly in skin) and compounds which act at both
of these isozymes, are useful in combination with compounds identified
according to this invention.
In the treatment of hyperandrogenic disease conditions, e.g.
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and/or the prevention and treatment

WO 94121660 21 5 8 34 ~ PCT/US94/02609


- 15 -
of prostatic cancer, and the treatment of prostatitis, it would be
desirable to have one drug entity which is active against both isozymes
to significantly inhibit dihydrotesterone production. It would also be
desirable to have one drug entity that is active as a dual inhibitor of both
5 isozymes for the treatment of conditions of the skin and scalp, e.g. acne
vulgaris, seborrhea, female hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
Additionally, such a dual inhibitor of 5a-reductase 1 and 2 could be
used in combination with a 5a-reductase 1 inhibitor or wi~ a 5a-
reductase 2 inhibitor, e.g. finasteride (PROSCAR~), for combination
therapy in the treatment of hyperandrogenic conditions, in combination
with compounds identified according to this inventionas being selective
hllm~n alphalC adrenergic receptor antagonists. The dual 5a-reductase
isozyme inhibitor could also be used in combination with a potassium
channel opener, e.g. minoxidil, for the treatment of male pattern
15 baldness, and such combinations in combination with selective hllm~n
alphalC adrenergic receptor antagonists also form part of the in~t~nt
invention . Compounds that are active as dual 5a-reductase 1 and 2
inhibitors have been described in W093/23420, EP 0572166; WO
93/23050; W093/23038,; W093/23048; WO93/23041; W093/23040;
20 W093/23039; W093/23376; WO93/23419, EP 0572165; WO93/230~1,
each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention also has the objective of providing
suitable topical, oral, systemic and parenteral ph~rm~ceutical
form~ tions for use in the novel methods of treatment of the present
invention. The compositions cont~ining compounds identified
according to this invention as the active ingredient for use in the
specific antagonism of hllm~n alphalC adrenergic receptors can be
~-lmini~tered in a wide variety of therapeutic dosage forms in
conventional vehicles for systemic ~lmini~tration. For example, the
compounds can be ~-lmini~tered in such oral dosage forms as tablets,
capsules (each including timed release and sustained release
form~ tions), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, solutions,
suspensions, syrups and emulsions, or by injection. Likewise, they
may also be ~lmini~tered in intravenous (both bolus and infusion),

intraperitoneal, subcutariéous, topical with or without occlusion, or
intramuscular form, all using forms well known to those of ordinary
skill in the pharmaceutical arts. An effective but non-toxic amount
of the compound desired can be employed as an alphalC antagonistic
agent.
The daily dosage of the products may be varied over a
wide range from 0.01 to 1,000 mg per adult hllm~n/per day. For
oral ~lminictration~ the compositions are preferably provided in the
form of scored or unscored tablets cont~inin~ 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5,
1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, and 50.0 milligrams of the active
ingredient for the sy~ tolllatic adjustment of the dosage to the
patient to be treated. An effective amount of ~e drug is ordinarily
supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.0002 mg./l~g to about 50
mg.~g. of body weight per day. The range is more par~icularly
15 from about 0.001 mg./kg to 7 mg.~g. of body weight per day. The
dosages of the alphalC adrenergic receptor and testosterone 5-alpha
reductase inhibitors are adjusted when combined to achieve desired
effects. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, less 5-alpha
reductase inhibitor may be required when the acute symptoms of
20 BPH are alleviated by treatment with alphalC adrenergic receptor
inhibitors has been initi~ted. On the other hand, dosages of these
various agents may be independently optimized and combined to
achieve a synergistic result wherein the pathology is reduced more
than it would be if either agent were used alone.
Advantageously, compounds of the present invention
may be ~timini~tered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage
may be ~lmini~tered in divided doses of two, three or four times
daily. Furthermore, compounds for the present invention can be
2~1mini~tered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal
30 vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal
skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be
~(lmini~tered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the
dosage ~tlmini~tration will, of course, be continuous rather than
intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

For the treatment of acne vulgaris, androgenic alopecia
including male pattern baldness, seborrhea, female hirsutism, benign
prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis and the prevention and/or treatment
of prostatic cancer, compounds exhibiting at least 12 fold selectivity
5 for inhibition of the alphalC adrenergic receptor can be combined
with a therapeutically effective amount of a Sa-reductase 2 inhibitor,
such as finasteride, in addition to a Sa-reductase 1 inhibitor, such as
4,7~-dimethyl-4-aza-Sa-cholestan-3-one, in a single oral, systemic,
or parenteral pharmaceutical dosage form~ tion. Alternatively, a
o combined therapy can be employed wherein the alphalC adrenergic
receptor antagonist and the 5a-reductase 1 or 2 inhibitor are
~lmini~tered in separate oral, systemic, or parenteral dosage
form~ tions. Also, for the skin and scalp related disorders of acne
vulgaris, androgenic alopecia including male pattern baldness,
seborrhea, and female hirsutism, the compounds of the instant
invention and dual inhibitors of Sa-reductase 1 and 2 could be
formnl~ted for topical ~(lmini~tration. For example, niguldipine or
S-methyl urapidil and finasteride can be ~lmini~tered in a single oral
or topical dosage formlll~tion, or each active agent can be
20 ~lmini~tered in a separate dosage form~ tion, e.g., in separate oral
dosage form~ ions, or an oral dosage formlll~tion of finasteride in
combination with a topical dosage formlll~tion of a compound
exhibiting dual inhibiton of both isozymes of 5a-reductase. See,
e.g., U.S. Patent No.'s 4,377,584 and 4,760,û71 which describe
2 dosages and form~ ions for 5a-reductase inhibitors.
Furthermore, since ~lmini~tration of 5a-reductase
inhibitors have been found to be useful in combination with a
therapeutically effective amount of a potassium ch~nnel opener, such
as minoxidil, crom~k~lin, pinacidil, a compound selected from the
0 classes of S-triazine, thiane-1-oxide, benzopyran, and pyridinopyran
derivatives or a ph~rm~ceutically acceptable salt thereof, compounds
of this invention may also be used in combination therapy for the
treatment of androgenic alopecia including male pattern baldness.
The active agents can be ~lmini~tered in a single topical dosage

form~ tion, or each active agent can be ~lmini~tered in a separate
dosage formulation, e.g., in separate topical dosage formulations, or
an oral dosage formulation of a compound of formula I in
combination with a topical dosage fonn~ tion of, e.g., minoxidil.
See, e.g., U.S. Patent No.'s 4,596,812, 4,139,619 and WO 92/02225,
published 20 February 1992, for dosages and forrmll~tions of
calcium channel openers. ~
For combination tre~trnent with more than one active
agent, where the active agents are in separate dosage forml-l~tions,
~e active agents can be ~lmini~tered concurrently, or they each can
be ~lmini~tered at separately staggered times.
The dosage regimen lltili7in~ the compounds of the
present invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors
including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the
15 patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of
~lmini~tration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the
particular compound thereof employed. A physician or veterinarian
of ordinary skill can readily determine and prescribe the effective
amount of the drug required to prevent, counter or arrest the
20 progress of the condition. Optimal precision in achieving
concentration of drug within the range that yields efficacy without
toxicity requires a regimen based on the kinetics of ~e drug's
availability to target sites. This involves a consideration of the
distribution, equilibrium, and elimin~tion of a drug.
In the methods of the present invention, the compounds
herein described in detail can form the active ingredient, and are
typically ~c~mini~tered in ~imixlllre with suitable ph~ eutical
diluents, excipients or carriers (collectively referred to herein as
"carrier" materials) suitably selected with respect to the intended
30 form of ~lrnini~ctration~ that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, syrups
and the like, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical
practices.
For instance, for oral ~(lminictration in the form of a
tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with

an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as
ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Moreover, when desired or
necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and
coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable
5 binders include, without limit~tion, starch, gelatin, natural sugars
such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and
synthetic gums such as acacia, tr~g~c~nth or sodium ~l~in~te,
carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like.
Lubricants used in these dosage forms include, without limit~tion,
sodium oleate, sodium stearate, m~gnesium stearate, sodium
benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like.
Disintegrators include, without limit~tion, starch, methyl cellulose,
agar, bentonite, x~nth~n gum and ~e like.
The liquid forms in suitably flavored suspending or
dispersing agents such as the synthetic and natural gums, for example,
tragacanth, acacia, methyl-cellulose and the like. Other dispersing
agents which may be employed include glycerin and the like. For
parenteral ~lmini~tration~ sterile suspensions and solutions are desired.
Isotonic preparations which generally contain suitable preservatives are
employed when intravenous ~lmini~tration is desired.
Topical preparations cont~ining the active drug component
can be admixed with a variety of carrier materials well known in the
art, such as, e.g., alcohols, aloe vera gel, ~ ntoin, glycerine, vitamin A
and E oils, mineral oil, PPG2 myristyl propionate, and the like, to
2 form, e.g., alcoholic solutions, topical cleansers, cleansing creams, skin
gels, skin lotions, and shampoos in cream or gel formnl~tions. See,
e.g., EP 0 285 382.
The compounds of the present invention can also be
~clmini~tered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small
nnil~mellar vesicles, large llnil~mellar vesicles and multilamellar
vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids,
such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.

(~enomic ~,ihr~ry ~creenin~:
Human W138 Fibroblast genomic library synthesized in
the Lambda Fix II vector (2 x 106 recombinants; Stratagene,La Jolla,
CA) was screened with (3'CG). This probe was labelled with 32P-dCTP
5 (Amersham) by random-primed labelling kit (}3oehringer
~nnheim,Tndi~n~polis,~). A Total 800,000 plaques were screened,
using duplicate Hybond-N nylone filters (Amersham,UK). Prior to
hybridization, filters were denatured (1.5M NaCl+0.5M NaOH),
neutralized (1.SM NaCl+ lM Tris.Cl,pH 8.0) and washed (0.2M Tris.Cl
pH 7.5 + 2 SSC), 5' for each. DNA was cross-linked with UV cross-
linker (Stratagene,La Jolla,CA). The filters were, then, hybridized in
50% formamide, 5 x SSC(lxSSC= 0.15M NaCl, 0.015M Na citrate,
pH7.0), 0.02% polyvinylpyrophosphate, 0.2% Ficoll, 0.2% bovine
serurn albumin, 150,ug of sheared & boiled Salmon sperm DNA, 106
cpm of 32P-labelled probe at 42C for 40hrs. Filters were washed in
0.1x SSC +1% SDS solution at 60C for 20'. Two more rounds of
screening for 20 "positive" plaques/clones with 3'CG probe confirmed
two clones for the alphalC adrenergic receptor, which were named
48.1C and 53.1C. Clone 53.1C was subjected to further

Resl-lt ~nd Oisc-l~sion:
Sequencing analysis of this genomic clone confirmed that
clone 53.1c contains sequences for complete exon.2 flanked by an intron
at 5'-end. It also revels that there is a nucleotide change from cytosine
(C) to thymine(T) at nucleotide position 1636, amino acid position 347.
This change creates a PstI site and changes the codon for arginine (Arg)
to cystine (Cys). This data differs from the known/published cDNA
sequen_e of the gene. Southern analysis of hllm~n genomic DNA
confirms the PstI site in the gene/exon.2.

COMPARATIVE PHARMACOLOGY OF ALPHAl-C ~T .T FT FS
We have cloned two gerles for the hllm~n alpha-lc
receptor. The coding regions differ by a single nucleotide. The genes
15 encode either Cys or Arg at amino acid 347 near the C terminllc of the
receptor. The nucleotide difference lies within a PstI restriction
enzyme recognition site thus creating a Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphism (RFLP). The frequency of allele 1 (LRR) is 0.34; allele
2 (LCR) is 0.66 in 83 unrelated individuals (Hoehe et al "A two-allele
20 PstI RFLP for the alpha-lC adrenergic receptor gene" Human
Molecular Genetics 1: 349, 1992; Allele I is defined by a 2.1 kb PstI
fragment; allele 2 yields two bands of 1.6 and 0.5 kb). Since the amino
acid dirre~ ce occurs within the intracellular tail of the receptor we
would not expect any ph~ cological dirre,~;nces between the
25 expressed receptors. To investigate the ph~ cological profiles of the
two allelic forms of the hl-m~n alpha-lc adrenergic receptor we ligated
the genomic exon 2 fragment of allele 2 to a cDNA clone of allele 1 at a
common PvuII restriction site. The two allelic forms were transientl
expressed in COS-7 cells using pcDNAI/NEO (Invitrogen) expression
vector. Competitive inhibition studies performed in the presence of
125I-HEAT with various antagonists showed no significant difference in
their ph~ cological profiles (Table II):

Taconic Farms Sprague-Dawley male rats, weighing 250-
400 grams are sacrificed by cervical dislocation under anesthesia
(methohexital; 50 mg~g, i.p.). An incision is made into the lower
abdomen to remove the ventral lobes of the prostate. Each prostate
removed from a mongrel dog is cut into 6-8 pieces lon~itlltlin~lly along
the Ul`t~ d opening and stored in ice-cold oxygenated Krebs solution
overnight before use if necessary. Dog urethra proximal to prostate is
cut into approximately 5 mrn rings, the rings are then cut open for
contractile measurement of circular muscles. Human prostate chips
from transurethral ~ulgely of benign prostate hyperplasia are also
stored overnight in ice-cold Krebs solution if needed.
The tissue is placed in a Petri dish co-~t~il,il,g oxygenated

PURPOSE: Benign prostatic hyperplasia causes decreased urine flow
rate that may be produced by both passive physical obstruction of the
prostatic uretlll~ from increased prostate mass as well as active
20 obstruction due to prostatic contraction. Alpha adrenergic receptor
antagonists such as prazosin and terazosin prevent active prostatic
contraction, thus improve urine flow rate and provide symptomatic
relief in man. However, these are non-selective alpha-1 receptor
antagonists which also have pronounced vascular effects. Because we
25 have identified the alpha-lC receptor subtype as the predominent
subtype in the hllm~n prostate, it is now possible to specifically target
this receptor to inhibit prostatic contraction without concomitant
changes in the vasculature. The following model is used to measure
adrenergically mediated changes in intra-urethral pressure and arterial
3 0 pressure in anesthetized dogs in order to evaluate the efficacy and
potency of selective alpha adrenergic receptor antagonists. The goals
are to: 1) identify the alpha-1 receptor subtypes responsible for
prostatic/urethral contraction and vascular responses, and 2) use this
model to evaluate novel selective alpha adrenergic antagonists. Novel

and standard alpha adrenergic antagonists may be evaluated in this
m~nner.

METHODS: Male mongre~ dogs (7-12 kg) are used in this study.
5 The dogs are anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (35 mg/kg, i.v.
plus 4 mg~g/hr iv infusion). An endotracheal tube is inserted and the
~nim~l ventilated with room air using a Harvard instruments positive
displacement large ~nim~l ventilator. Catheters (PE 240 or 260) are
placed in the aorta via the femoral artery and vena cava via the femoral
veins (2 catheters, one in each vein) for the measurement of arterial
pressure and the ~tlmini~kation of drugs, respectively. A supra-pubic
incision ~1/2 inch lateral to the penis is made to expose the urethers,
bladder and urethra. The urethers are ligated and c~nn~ ted so that
urine flows freely into beakers. The dome of the bladder is retracted to
facilitate dissection of ~e proximal and distal urethra. Umbilical tape is
passed beneath the urethra at the bladder neck and another piece of
umbilical tape is placed under the distal urethra approxim~tely 1-2 cm
distal to the prostate. The bladder is incised and a Millar micro-tip
pressure transducer is advanced into the urethra. The bladder incision
20 iS sutured with 2-0 or 3-0 silk (purse-string suture) to hold the
transducer. The tip of the transducer is placed in ~e prostatic urethra
and the position of the Millar catheter is verified by gently squeezing
the prostate and noting the large change in urethral pressure.
Phenylephrine, an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, is
~clmini~tered (0.1-100 ug/kg, iv; 0.05 ml/l~g volume) in order to
construct dose response curves for changes in intra-urethral and arterial
pressure. Following ~tlminictration of increasing doses of an alpha
adrenergic antagonist (or vehicle), the effects of phenylephrine on
arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure are re-evaluated. Four or
30 five phenylephrine dose-response curves are generated in each ~nim~l
(one control, three or four doses of antagonist or vehicle). The relative
antagonist potency on phenylephrine induced changes in arterial and
intra-urethral pressure are determined by Schild analysis. The family
of averaged curves are fit simultaneously (using ALLFIT software

package) with a four paramenter logistic equation constraining the
slope, .,~i.,i...l..~ response, and ma~hl-ulll response to be constant among
curves. The dose ratios for the antagonist doses (rightward shift in the
dose-response curves from control) are calculated as the ratio of the
EDso's for the respective curves. These dose-ratios are then used to
construct a Schild plot and the Kb (expressed as ug/l~g, iv) determined.
The Kb (dose of antagonist c~ ing a 2-fold rightward shift of the
phenylephrine dose-response curve) is used to compare the relative
potency of the antagonists on inhibiting phenylephrine responses for
intra-ulctl,l~l and arterial pressure. The relative selectivity is
calculated as the ratio of arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure
Kb's. Effects of the alpha-l antagonists on baseline arterial pressure are
also monitored. Comparison of the relative antagonist potency on
changes in arterial pressure and intra-urethral pressure provide insight
15 as to whether the alpha receptor subtype responsible for increasing
intra-ur~ l pressure is also present in the systemic vasculature.
According to this method, one is able to confirm the selectivity of
alphalC adrenergic receptor antagonists that prevent the increase in
intra-urethral pressure to phenylephrine without any activity at the
vasculature
At the end of the experiment, the dogs are killed via an
overdose of intravenously ~lmini~tered pentobarbital or saturated KCl.
