In a further aspect, the invention provides a method of treating stable, unstable and variant (Prinzmetal) angina, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, renal failure, atherosclerosis, conditions of reduced blood vessel patency, (e.g.
post-PTCA), peripheral vascular disease, v~scul~r disorders such as Raynaud's disease, inflammatory diseases, stroke, bronchitis, chronic asthma, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, glaucoma, erectile dysfunction or dise~ses characterised by disorders of gut motility (e.g. IBS) in a human or non-human animal body which comprises administering to said body a therapeutically effective amount of a compound with formula (I).
Compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route, for example by oral, buccal, sub-lingual, rectal, vaginal, nasal, topical or parenteral (including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intracoronary) administration. Oral administration is generally preferred.
For administration to man in the curative or prophylactic treatment of the disorders identified above, oral dosages of a compound of formula (I) will generally be in the range of from 0.5-800mg daily for an average adult patient (70kg). Thus for a typical adult patient, individual tablets or capsules containfrom 0.2400mg of active compound, in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle or carrier, for administration in single or multiple doses, once or several times per day. Dosages for intravenous, buccal or sublingual administration willtypically be within the range of from 0.1400 mg per single dose as required. In practice the physician will determine the actual dosing regimen which will be most suitable for an individual patient and it will vary with the age, weight and response of the particular patient. The above dosages are exemplary of the average case but there can be individual instances in which higher or lower dosage ranges may be merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.
For human use, a compound of the formula (I) can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, the compound may be administered orally, buccally or sublingually, in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture withexcipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavouring or 5 colouring agents. Such liquid preparations may be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g.
methylcellulose, a semi-synthetic glyceride such as witepsol or mixtures of glycerides such as a mixture of apricot kernel oil and PEG-6 esters or mixtures of PEG-8 and caprylic/capric glycerides). A compound may also be injected 10 parenterally, for example intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously or intracoronarily. For parenteral administration, the compound is best used in theform of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example salts, or monosaccharides such as mannitol or glucose, to make the solution isotonic with blood.
Thus, the invention provides in a further aspect a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the formula (I) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor.
There is further provided by the present invention a process of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I), which process comprises mixing a compound of formula (I) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor.
A compound of formula (I) may also be used in combination with other therapeutic agents which may be useful in the treatment of the above-mentioned disease states. The invention thus provides, in another aspect, a combination ofa compound of lFormula (I) together with another therapeutically active agent.
The combination referred to above may conveniently be presented for use in the form of a pharmaceutical formulation and thus pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination as defined above together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier comprise a further aspect of the invention.
The individual components of such a combination may also be administered either sequentially or simultaneously in separate pharmaceutical formulations.
Appropriate doses of known therapeutic agents for use in combination with a compound of formula (I) will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art or by the following processes which form part of the present invention. In the methods below R, R, R and R3 are as defined in formula (I) above unless otherwise indicated.
Thus, a first process (A) for preparing a compound of formula (I) comprises treating a compound of formula (Il) R~~ ~OAlk (Il) (in which Alk represents C1 6alkyl, e.g. methyl or ethyl, and Hal is a halogen atom, e.g. chlorine) with a primary amine R1NH2 in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol) or a mixture of solvents, conveniently at a temperature of from 20~C to reflux (e.g. at about 50~C).
According to a second process (B) for preparing a compound of formula (I) comprises hydrogenating a compound of formula (Ill) o Ro~CHN<Rl ( ) in which Alk is defined as above and Cbz represents a carbobenzyloxy group, in 15 the presence of a catalyst e.g. palladium on activated carbon in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol, e.g. methanol or ethanol, at elevated temperature.
A compound of formula (Il) may conveniently be prepared by treating a compound of formula (IV) R~~ ~/~aA I k 20 with a haloacetyl halide (e.g. chloroacetyl chloride) in a suitable solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g. trichloromethane or dichloromethane), or an ether (e.g. tetrahydrofuran), preferably in the presence of a base such as an organic amine (e.g. a trialkylamine such as triethylamine) or an alkali metal --carbonate or bicarbonate (e.g. NaHCO3). The reaction may conveniently be effected at a temperature of from -20~C to +20~C ~(e.g. at about O~C).
A compound of formula (IV) may conveniently be prepared from a tryptophan ~ alkyl ester of formula (V) R~~ I k This step comprises a Pictet-Spengler cyclisation between a compound of formula (V) and an aldehyde R2CHO. The reaction may conveniently be effected in a suitable solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g.
dichloromethane) or an aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g. toluene) in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction may conveniently be carried out at a temperature of from -20~C to reflux to provide a compound of formula (Ill) in one step. The reaction may also be carried out in a solvent such as an aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g. benzene or toluene) under reflux, optionally using a Dean-Stark apparatus to trap the water produced. The reaction provides a mixture of cis and trans isomers which may be either individual enantiomers or racemates of pairs of cis or trans isomers depending upon whether racemic or enantiomerically pure tryptophan alkyl ester was used as the starting material.
Individual cis or trans enantiomers may conveniently be separated from mixtures thereof by fractional crystallisation or by chromatography (e.g. flash column chromatography) using appropriate solvents and eluents. Similarly, pairs of cis and trans isomers may be separated by chromatography (e.g. flash column ch~o",dlography) using appropriate eluents. An optically pure trans isomer may also be converted to an optically pure cis isomer using suitable epimerisation procedures. One such procedure comprises treating the trans isomer or a mixture (e.g. 1: 1 mixture) of cis and trans isomers with methanolic or aqueous hydrogen chloride at a temperature of frorn 0~C to the refluxing temperature of the solution. The mixture is then subjected to chromatography (e.g. flash column chro"~alography) to separate the resulting diastereoisomers.
A compound of formula (Ill) may be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (IV) as hereinbefore described, with a compound of formula (Vl) Cbz HO~CI HN<
(vi) wherein Cbz is defirled above. Suitably, the reaction is carried out in the presence of 1,3-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), in a solvent such as halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g. dichloromethane) from 0~C to room temperature.
Compounds of formula (V) and (\/I) are known compounds or may be prepared by standard methods hereinafter described.
Compounds of the invention may be isolated in association with solvent molecules by crystallisation from or evaporation of an appropriate solvent.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, we provide a process (C) for preparing a compound of formula (I) or a solvate (e.g. hydrate) thereof which comprises process (A) or (B) as hereinbefore described followed by i) an interconversion step; and/or either ii) solvate (e.g. hydrate) formation.

A most particular compound of the invention is (6R,12aR)-2,3,6,7,12,12a-Hexahydro-6-(5-benzofuranyl)-2-methyl-pyrazino [2',1 ':6,1]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4-dione;
and physiologically acceptable solvates (e.g. hydrates) thereof.
It has been shown that compounds of the present invention are potent and selective inhibitors of cGMP specific PDE. Thus, compounds of formula (I) are of interest for use in therapy, specifically for the treatment of a variety of conditions where inhibition of cGMP specific PDE is thought to be beneficial.
As a consequence of the selective PDE 5 inhibition exhibited by compounds of the present inven~ion, cGMP levels are elevated, which in turn can give rise to 5 beneficial anti-platelet, anti-neutrophil, anti-vasospastic, vasodilatory, natriuretic and diuretic activities as well as potentiation of the effects of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), nitrovasodilators, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and endothelium-dependent relaxing agents such as bradykinin, acetylcholine and 5-10 HT~. The compounds of formula (I) therefore have utility in the treatment of anumber of disorders, including stable, unstable and variant (Prinzmetal) angina, hypertension, puimonary hypertension, congestive heart failure, renal failure, atherosclerosis, conditions of reduced blood vessel patency (e.g. post-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty), peripheral vascular disease, 15 vascular disorders such as Raynaud's disease, inflammatory diseases, stroke, bronchitis, chronic asthma, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, glaucoma, erectile dysfunction and diseases characterised by disorders of gut motility (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome).
It will be appreciated that references herein to treatment extend to 20 prophylaxis as well as treatment of established conditions It will also be appreciated that 'a compound of formula (I),' or a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof can be administered as the raw compound, or as a pharmaceutical composition containing either entity.
There is thus provided as a further aspect of the invention a compound of 25 formula (I) for use in the treatment of stable, unstable and variant (Prinzmetal) angina, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, renal failure, atherosclerosis, conditions ofreduced blood vessel patency, (e.g. post-PTCA), peripheral vascular disease, vascular disorders such as Raynaud's disease, inflammatory diseases, stroke, 30 bronchitis, chronic asthma, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, glaucoma, erectile dysfunction or diseases characterised by disorders of gut motility (e.g. IBS).
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided the use of a compound of formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of stable, unstable and variant (Prinzmetal) angina, hypertension, pulmonary 35 hypertensionS chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, renal failure, atherosclerosis, conditions of reduced blood vessel patency, (e.g.
post-PTCA), peripheral vascular disease, vascular disorders such as Raynaud's disease, inflammatory diseases, stroke, bronchitis, chronic asthma, allergic asthma, allergic ~rhinitis, glaucoma, erectile dysfunction or diseases characterised by disorders of gut motility (e.g. IBS).
In a further aspect, the invention provides a method of treating stable, unstable and variant (Prinzmetal) angina, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, renal failure, atherosclerosis, conditions of reduced blood vessel patency, (e.g.
post-PTCA), peripheral vascular disease, v~scul~r disorders such as Raynaud's disease, inflammatory diseases, stroke, bronchitis, chronic asthma, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, glaucoma, erectile dysfunction or dise~ses characterised by disorders of gut motility (e.g. IBS) in a human or non-human animal body which comprises administering to said body a therapeutically effective amount of a compound with formula (I).
Compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route, for example by oral, buccal, sub-lingual, rectal, vaginal, nasal, topical or parenteral (including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intracoronary) administration. Oral administration is generally preferred.
For administration to man in the curative or prophylactic treatment of the disorders identified above, oral dosages of a compound of formula (I) will generally be in the range of from 0.5-800mg daily for an average adult patient (70kg). Thus for a typical adult patient, individual tablets or capsules containfrom 0.2400mg of active compound, in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle or carrier, for administration in single or multiple doses, once or several times per day. Dosages for intravenous, buccal or sublingual administration willtypically be within the range of from 0.1400 mg per single dose as required. In practice the physician will determine the actual dosing regimen which will be most suitable for an individual patient and it will vary with the age, weight and response of the particular patient. The above dosages are exemplary of the average case but there can be individual instances in which higher or lower dosage ranges may be merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.
For human use, a compound of the formula (I) can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, the compound may be administered orally, buccally or sublingually, in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture withexcipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavouring or 5 colouring agents. Such liquid preparations may be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g.
methylcellulose, a semi-synthetic glyceride such as witepsol or mixtures of glycerides such as a mixture of apricot kernel oil and PEG-6 esters or mixtures of PEG-8 and caprylic/capric glycerides). A compound may also be injected 10 parenterally, for example intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously or intracoronarily. For parenteral administration, the compound is best used in theform of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example salts, or monosaccharides such as mannitol or glucose, to make the solution isotonic with blood.
Thus, the invention provides in a further aspect a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the formula (I) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor.
There is further provided by the present invention a process of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I), which process comprises mixing a compound of formula (I) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor.
A compound of formula (I) may also be used in combination with other therapeutic agents which may be useful in the treatment of the above-mentioned disease states. The invention thus provides, in another aspect, a combination ofa compound of lFormula (I) together with another therapeutically active agent.
The combination referred to above may conveniently be presented for use in the form of a pharmaceutical formulation and thus pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination as defined above together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier comprise a further aspect of the invention.
The individual components of such a combination may also be administered either sequentially or simultaneously in separate pharmaceutical formulations.
Appropriate doses of known therapeutic agents for use in combination with a compound of formula (I) will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art or by the following processes which form part of the present invention. In the methods below R, R, R and R3 are as defined in formula (I) above unless otherwise indicated.
Thus, a first process (A) for preparing a compound of formula (I) comprises treating a compound of formula (Il) R~~ ~OAlk (Il) (in which Alk represents C1 6alkyl, e.g. methyl or ethyl, and Hal is a halogen atom, e.g. chlorine) with a primary amine R1NH2 in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol) or a mixture of solvents, conveniently at a temperature of from 20~C to reflux (e.g. at about 50~C).
According to a second process (B) for preparing a compound of formula (I) comprises hydrogenating a compound of formula (Ill) o Ro~CHN<Rl ( ) in which Alk is defined as above and Cbz represents a carbobenzyloxy group, in 15 the presence of a catalyst e.g. palladium on activated carbon in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol, e.g. methanol or ethanol, at elevated temperature.
A compound of formula (Il) may conveniently be prepared by treating a compound of formula (IV) R~~ ~/~aA I k 20 with a haloacetyl halide (e.g. chloroacetyl chloride) in a suitable solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g. trichloromethane or dichloromethane), or an ether (e.g. tetrahydrofuran), preferably in the presence of a base such as an organic amine (e.g. a trialkylamine such as triethylamine) or an alkali metal --carbonate or bicarbonate (e.g. NaHCO3). The reaction may conveniently be effected at a temperature of from -20~C to +20~C ~(e.g. at about O~C).
A compound of formula (IV) may conveniently be prepared from a tryptophan ~ alkyl ester of formula (V) R~~ I k This step comprises a Pictet-Spengler cyclisation between a compound of formula (V) and an aldehyde R2CHO. The reaction may conveniently be effected in a suitable solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g.
dichloromethane) or an aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g. toluene) in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction may conveniently be carried out at a temperature of from -20~C to reflux to provide a compound of formula (Ill) in one step. The reaction may also be carried out in a solvent such as an aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g. benzene or toluene) under reflux, optionally using a Dean-Stark apparatus to trap the water produced. The reaction provides a mixture of cis and trans isomers which may be either individual enantiomers or racemates of pairs of cis or trans isomers depending upon whether racemic or enantiomerically pure tryptophan alkyl ester was used as the starting material.
Individual cis or trans enantiomers may conveniently be separated from mixtures thereof by fractional crystallisation or by chromatography (e.g. flash column chromatography) using appropriate solvents and eluents. Similarly, pairs of cis and trans isomers may be separated by chromatography (e.g. flash column ch~o",dlography) using appropriate eluents. An optically pure trans isomer may also be converted to an optically pure cis isomer using suitable epimerisation procedures. One such procedure comprises treating the trans isomer or a mixture (e.g. 1: 1 mixture) of cis and trans isomers with methanolic or aqueous hydrogen chloride at a temperature of frorn 0~C to the refluxing temperature of the solution. The mixture is then subjected to chromatography (e.g. flash column chro"~alography) to separate the resulting diastereoisomers.
A compound of formula (Ill) may be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (IV) as hereinbefore described, with a compound of formula (Vl) Cbz HO~CI HN<
(vi) wherein Cbz is defirled above. Suitably, the reaction is carried out in the presence of 1,3-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), in a solvent such as halogenated hydrocarbon (e.g. dichloromethane) from 0~C to room temperature.
Compounds of formula (V) and (\/I) are known compounds or may be prepared by standard methods hereinafter described.
Compounds of the invention may be isolated in association with solvent molecules by crystallisation from or evaporation of an appropriate solvent.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, we provide a process (C) for preparing a compound of formula (I) or a solvate (e.g. hydrate) thereof which comprises process (A) or (B) as hereinbefore described followed by i) an interconversion step; and/or either ii) solvate (e.g. hydrate) formation.

Inhibitor,v effect on cGMP-PDF
cGMP-PDE activity of compounds of the present invention was measured using a one-step assay adapted from Wells at al. (Wells, J. hl., Baird, C. E., Wu, Y. J.
and Hardman, J. G., Biochim. Biophys. Aota 384, 430 (1975)). The reaction medium contained 50mM Tris-HCl,pH 7.5, 5mM Mg-acetate, 250~1g/ml 5'-Nucleotidase, 1mM EGTA and 0.15,uM 8-[H3]-cGMP. The enzyme used was a human recombinant PDE V (ICOS, Seattle USA).
20 Compounds of the invention were dissolved in DMSO finally present at 2% in the assay. The incubation time was 30 minutes during which the total substrate conversion did not exceed 30%.
The IC50 values for the compounds examined were determined from 25 concentration-response curves using typically concentrations ranging from 1 OnM
to 10~M. Tests against other PDE enzymes using standard methodology also showed that cornpounds of the invention are highly selective for the cGMP
speciFic PDE enzyme.
30 cGMP level measurements Rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RSMC) prepared according to Chamley et al. in Cell Tissue Rçs. 177, 503 - 522 (1977) were used between the 10th and 25th -passage at confluence in 24-well culture dishes. Culture media was aspirated and replaced with PBS (0.5ml) containing the compound tested at the appropriate concentration. After 30 minutes at 37~C, particulates guanylate cyclase was stimulated by addition of ANF (100nM) for 10 minutes. At the end 5 of incubation, the medium was withdrawn and two extractions were performed by addition of 65% ethanol (0.25ml). The two ethanolic extracts were pooled and evaporated until dryness, using a Speed-vac system. c-GMP was measured after acetylation by scinlillalion proximity immunoassay (AMERSHAM). The EC50 values are expressed as the dose giving half of the 10 stimulation at saturating concentrations Biological data The compounds according to the present invention were typically found to exhibit an IC50 value of less than 500 nM and an EC50 value of less than 5 ,uM.
In vitro test data for representative compounds of the invention is given in thefollowing table:
