A case history is outlined for the development of a scaleable route to the drug candidate UK-357,903. Despite the partial structural similarities to those of sildenafil (Viagra), the introduction of the central pyridine moiety within UK-357,903 had a significant impact on the commercial process. In particular, the triply activated 2-alkoxypyridyl moiety of UK-357,903 is much more susceptible to nucleophilic attack than the 2-ethoxyphenyl moiety of sildenafil, necessitating the development of new chemistry. Particular items of note are (i) the new six-step route to the advanced 2-ethoxy-5-(4-ethylpiperazinylsulfonyl)nicotinic acid intermediate and the subsequent telescoping to a two-pot process, (ii) the telescoping of the two steps from N-[3-carbamoyl-5-ethyl-1-(2-pyridylmethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-ethoxy-5- (4-ethyl-1-piperazinylsulfonyl)nicotin-amide to UK-357,903 to a single step, with the additional use of a hydroxide trapping agent to give an ambient pressure process yielding clinical quality product, and (iii) the introduction of process modifications to allow for the use of teratogenic 2-methoxyethanol, as both reagent and solvent, in the penultimate process step.

The present invention provides a compound of formula (I): where Q is a group of formula: These compounds inhibit cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterases (cGMP PDEs). More notably, the compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of the type 5 cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterases and have utility therefore in a variety of therapeutic areas. In particular, the present compounds are of value for the curative or prophylactic treatment of mammalian sexual disorders.
