PCT No. PCT/US93/10950 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 1, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 1, 1997 PCT Filed Nov. 12, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10989 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1994A method of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia in a subject which comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound which binds to a human alpha 1C adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity greater than ten-fold higher than the binding affinity with which the compound binds to a human alpha 1A adrenergic receptor, a human alpha 1B adrenergic receptor, and a human histamine H1 receptor, and, binds to a human alpha 2 adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity which is greater than ten-fold lower than the binding affinity with which the compound binds to such alpha 1C adrenergic receptor. Compounds meeting these criteria are provided.

This invention provides a method of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia in a subject which comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an α 1C antagonist which (a) binds to a human α 1C adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity greater than 100-fold higher than the binding affinity with which the α 1C antagonist binds to a human α 1A adrenergic receptor, a human α 1B adrenergic receptor, and a human histamine H 1 receptor; and (b) binds to a human α 2 adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity which is greater than 100-fold lower than the binding affinity with which the α 1C antagonist binds to such α 1C adrenergic receptor.The invention further provides a method of inhibiting contraction of a prostate tissue which comprises contacting the prostate tissue with an effective contraction-inhibiting amount of an α 1C antagonist which (a) binds to a human α 1C adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity greater than 100-fold higher than the binding affinity with which the α 1C antagonist binds to a human α 1A adrenergic receptor, a human α 1B adrenergic receptor, and a human histamine H 1 receptor; and (b) binds to a human α 2 adrenergic receptor with a binding affinity which is greater than 100-fold lower than the binding affinity with which the α 1C antagonist binds to such α 1C adrenergic receptor.
