blocker treatment , e . g . with timolol , as well as systemically administered inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase , e . g . acetazolamide . cholinesterase inhibitors such as physostigmine and echothiopate may also be employed and have an effect similar to that of pilocarpine . drugs currently used to treat glaucoma thus include , e . g ., 1 . prostaglandin analogs such as latanoprost ( xalatan ), bimatoprost ( lumigan ) and travoprost ( travatan ), which increase uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor . bimatoprost also increases trabecular outflow . 2 . topical beta - adrenergic receptor antagonists such as timolol , levobunolol ( betagan ), and betaxolol , which decrease aqueous humor production by the ciliary body . 3 . alpha 2 - adrenergic agonists such as brimonidine ( alphagan ), which work by a dual mechanism , decreasing aqueous production and increasing uveo - scleral outflow . 4 . less - selective sympathomimetics like epinephrine and dipivefrin ( propine ) increase outflow of aqueous humor through trabecular meshwork and possibly through uveoscleral outflow pathway , probably by a beta 2 - agonist action . 5 . miotic agents ( parasympathomimetics ) like pilocarpine work by contraction of the ciliary muscle , tightening the trabecular meshwork and allowing increased outflow of the aqueous humour . 6 . carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like dorzolamide ( trusopt ), brinzolamide ( azopt ), acetazolamide ( diamox ) lower secretion of aqueous humor by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body . 7 . physostigmine is also used to treat glaucoma and delayed gastric emptying . for example , the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pde1 inhibitor of the invention and an agent selected from ( i ) the prostanoids , unoprostone , latanoprost , travoprost , or bimatoprost ; ( ii ) an alpha adrenergic agonist such as brimonidine , apraclonidine , or dipivefrin and ( iii ) a muscarinic agonist , such as pilocarpine . for example , the invention provides ophthalmic formulations comprising a pde - 1 inhibitor of the invention together with bimatoprost , abrimonidine , brimonidine , timolol , or combinations thereof , in free or ophthamalogically acceptable salt form , in combination or association with an ophthamologically acceptable diluent or carrier . in addition to selecting a combination , however , a person of ordinary skill in the art can select an appropriate selective receptor subtype agonist or antagonist . for example , for alpha adrenergic agonist , one can select an agonist selective for an alpha 1 adrenergic receptor , or an agonist selective for an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor such as brimonidine , for example . for a beta - adrenergic receptor antagonist , one can select an antagonist selective for either β 1 , or β 2 , or β 3 , depending on the appropriate therapeutic application . one can also select a muscarinic agonist selective for a particular receptor subtype such as m 1 - m 5 . the pde 1 inhibitor may be administered in the form of an ophthalmic composition , which includes an ophthalmic solution , cream or ointment . the ophthalmic composition may additionally include an intraocular - pressure lowering agent . in yet another example , the pde - 1 inhibitors disclosed may be combined with a subthreshold amount of an intraocular pressure - lowering agent which may be a bimatoprost ophthalmic solution , a brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution , or brimonidine tartrate / timolol maleate ophthalmic solution . in addition to the above - mentioned methods , it has also been surprisingly discovered that pde1 inhibitors are useful to treat psychosis , for example , any conditions characterized by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations , paranoid or bizarre delusions , or disorganized speech and thinking , e . g ., schizophrenia , schizoaffective disorder , schizophreniform disorder , psychotic disorder , delusional disorder , and mania , such as in acute manic episodes and bipolar disorder . without intending to be bound by any theory , it is believed that typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs such as clozapine primarily have their antagonistic activity at the dopamine d2 receptor . pde1 inhibitors , however , primarily act to enhance signaling at the dopamine d1 receptor . by enhancing d1 receptor signaling , pde1 inhibitors can increase nmda receptor function in various brain regions , for example in nucleus accumbens neurons and in the prefrontal cortex . this enhancement of function may be seen for example in nmda receptors containing the nr2b subunit , and may occur e . g ., via activation of the src and protein kinase a family of kinases . therefore , the invention provides a new method for the treatment of psychosis , e . g ., schizophrenia , schizoaffective disorder , schizophreniform disorder , psychotic disorder , delusional disorder , and mania , such as in acute manic episodes and bipolar disorder , comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a phosphodiesterase - 1 ( pde1 ) inhibitor of the invention , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form , to a patient in need thereof . pde 1 inhibitors may be used in the foregoing methods of treatment prophylaxis as a sole therapeutic agent , but may also be used in combination or for co - administration with other active agents . thus , the invention further comprises a method of treating psychosis , e . g ., schizophrenia , schizoaffective disorder , schizophreniform disorder , psychotic disorder , delusional disorder , or mania , comprising administering simultaneously , sequentially , or contemporaneously administering therapeutically effective amounts of : ( i ) a pde 1 inhibitor of the invention , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form ; and ( ii ) an antipsychotic , e . g ., butyrophenones , e . g . haloperidol ( haldol , serenace ), properidol ( droleptan ); phenothiazines , e . g ., chlorpromazine ( thorazine , largactil ), fluphenazine ( prolixin ), perphenazine ( trilafon ), prochlorperazine ( compazine ), thioridazine ( mellaril , melleril ), trifluoperazine ( stelazine ), mesoridazine , periciazine , promazine , triflupromazine ( vesprin ), levomepromazine ( nozinan ), promethazine ( phenergan ), pimozide ( orap ); thioxanthenes , e . g ., chlorprothixene , flupenthixol ( depixol , fluanxol ), thiothixene ( navane ), zuclopenthixol ( clopixol , acuphase ); clozapine ( clozaril ), olanzapine ( zyprexa ), risperidone ( risperdal ), quetiapine ( seroquel ), ziprasidone ( geodon ), amisulpride ( solian ), paliperidone ( invega ), aripiprazole ( abilify ), bifeprunox ; norclozapine , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form , to a patient in need thereof . in a particular embodiment , the compounds of the invention are particularly useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of schizophrenia . compounds of the invention , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form , are particularly useful for the treatment of parkinson &# 39 ; s disease , schizophrenia , narcolepsy , glaucoma and female sexual dysfunction . in still another aspect , the invention provides a method of lengthening or enhancing growth of the eyelashes by administering an effective amount of a prostaglandin analogue , e . g ., bimatoprost , concomitantly , simultaneously or sequentially with an effective amount of a pde1 inhibitor of the invention , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form , to the eye of a patient in need thereof . in yet another aspect , the invention provides a method for the treatment or prophylaxis of traumatic brain injury comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pde1 inhibitor of the invention , in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form , to a patient in need thereof . traumatic brain injury ( tbi ) encompasses primary injury as well as secondary injury , including both focal and diffuse brain injuries . secondary injuries are multiple , parallel , interacting and interdependent cascades of biological reactions arising from discrete subcellular processes ( e . g ., toxicity due to reactive oxygen species , overstimulation of glutamate receptors , excessive influx of calcium and inflammatory upregulation ) which are caused or exacerbated by the inflammatory response and progress after the initial ( primary ) injury . abnormal calcium homeostasis is believed to be a critical component of the progression of secondary injury in both grey and white matter . for a review of tbi , see park et al ., cmaj ( 2008 ) 178 ( 9 ): 1163 - 1170 , the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety . studies have shown that the camp - pka signaling cascade is downregulated after tbi and treatment of pde iv inhibitors such as rolipram to raise or restore camp level improves histopathological outcome and decreases inflammation after tbi . as compounds of the present invention is a pde1 inhibitor , it is believed that these compounds are also useful for the treatment of tbi , e . g ., by restoring camp level and / or calcium homeostasis after traumatic brain injury .

fluorescein , to the corresponding gmp - fluorescein . the generation of gmp - fluorescein from cgmp - fluorescein can be quantitated , using , for example , the imap ( molecular devices , sunnyvale , calif .) immobilized - metal affinity particle reagent . briefly , the imap reagent binds with high affinity to the free 5 ′- phosphate that is found in gmp - fluorescein and not in cgmp - fluorescein . the resulting gmp - fluorescein - imap complex is large relative to cgmp - fluorescein . small fluorophores that are bound up in a large , slowly tumbling , complex can be distinguished from unbound fluorophores , because the photons emitted as they fluoresce retain the same polarity as the photons used to excite the fluorescence . in the phosphodiesterase assay , cgmp - fluorescein , which cannot be bound to imap , and therefore retains little fluorescence polarization , is converted to gmp - fluorescein , which , when bound to imap , yields a large increase in fluorescence polarization ( δmp ). inhibition of phosphodiesterase , therefore , is detected as a decrease in δmp . materials : all chemicals are available from sigma - aldrich ( st . louis , mo .) except for imap reagents ( reaction buffer , binding buffer , fl - gmp and imap beads ), which are available from molecular devices ( sunnyvale , calif .). assay : 3 ′, 5 ′- cyclic -

hcl ph 7 . 2 , 10 mm mgcl 2 , 0 . 1 % bsa , 0 . 05 % nan 3 ) to yield a final concentration of 1 . 25 mu / ml . 99 μl of diluted enzyme solution is added into each well in a flat bottom 96 - well polystyrene plate to which 1 μl of test compound dissolved in 100 % dmso is added . the compounds are mixed and pre - incubated with the enzyme for 10 min at room temperature . the fl - gmp conversion reaction is initiated by combining 4 parts enzyme and inhibitor mix with 1 part substrate solution ( 0 . 225 μm ) in a 384 - well microtiter plate . the reaction is incubated in dark at room temperature for 15 min . the reaction is halted by addition of 60 μl of binding reagent ( 1 : 400 dilution of imap beads in binding buffer supplemented with 1 : 1800 dilution of antifoam ) to each well of the 384 - well plate . the plate is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour to allow imap binding to proceed to completion , and then placed in an envision multimode microplate reader ( perkinelmer , shelton , conn .) to measure the fluorescence polarization ( δmp ). a decrease in gmp concentration , measured as decreased amp , is indicative of inhibition of pde activity . ic 50 values are determined by measuring enzyme activity in the presence of 8 to 16 concentrations of compound ranging from 0 . 0037 nm to 80 , 000 nm and then plotting drug concentration versus δmp , which allows ic 50 values to be estimated using nonlinear regression software ( xlfit ; idbs , cambridge , mass .). the compounds of the invention may be selected and tested in an assay as described or similarly described herein for pde1 inhibitory activity . the exemplified compounds of the invention generally have ic 50 values of less than 1 μm , some less than 250 nm , some less than 10 nm , some less than 1 nm , some with pde1a activities e . g ., the compounds of examples 1 and 2 generally have ic 50 values of less than 250 nm . the effect of pde1 inhibitors on lordosis response in female rats may be measured as described in mani , et al ., science ( 2000 ) 287 : 1053 . ovariectomized and cannulated wild - type rats are primed with 2 μg estrogen followed 24 hours later by intracerebroventricular ( icy ) injection of progesterone ( 2 μg ), pde1 inhibitors of the present invention ( 0 . 1 mg , 1 . 0 mg or 2 . 5 mg ) or sesame oil vehicle ( control ). the rats are tested for lordosis response in the presence of male rats . lordosis response is quantified by the lordosis quotient ( lq = number of lordosis / 10 mounts × 100 ).
