[I] Test Compound : The test compounds are shown in Tables 1 and 2 and test methods 2 and 3. [II] Test method 1: cGMP-Phosphodiesterase (PDE) assay Human platelet cGMP-PDE was separated from other isozymes in human platelets by a modification of the method of Thompson et. al. (see Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase (PDE), in Methods of Enzymatic analysis, Vol 4, p 127-234, 1984). In enzyme inhibition assays, the test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and then diluted with assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.077 mg/ml dithiothreitol and 10 mg/ml snake venom, 1 mM EGTA, pH 8.0), at final concentrations ranging from 10- 10 to 10- 6 M. Assays were performed at 0.1 μ.M substrate ([ 3 H]-cGMP) concentration, at 30 °C for 10 minutes using enzyme dilutions which gave 10-20% hydrolysis of substrate. Each assay was initiated by addition of substrate and terminated by addition of anion exchange resin (Dowex ® 1-X8, 250 mg/mg) followed by centrifugation for 10 minutes (3000 rpm, at 4 °C). Radioactivity of supernatant ( 3 H-GMP) was assayed by liquid scintillation counting.

Test method 2: the effect on erection function (a) Effect of test compound on nitroprusside or Ach-induced relaxation in isolated rat corpora cavernosa. Male SD rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital 50 mg/kg intraperitoneally, and the corpora cavernosa was excised. The tunica albuginea was dissected according to the methods described by Italiano et al. (Pharmacological Research, 30, No.4, 1994) and used for in vitro pharmacological study. The erectile tissue strip was placed in a 25 ml organ bath containing Krebs-Ringer solution. The bath was maintained at 37°C and bubbled with 95% O 2 and 5% CO 2 - The strip was stretched with a resting force of 0.25 g, and isometric contraction were recorded via force development transducer on a recorder. The strip was equilibrated in the Krebs-Ringer solution for about 60 minutes, and preconstructed by 0.1 mM norepinephrine to ascertain the responsibility of each preparation. The strip was washed several times, and then constricted by 0.1 mM norepinephrine. After getting stable constrictile response to norepinephrine, the first dose-response curve for sodium nitroprusside or Ach(acetylcholine) was obtained. After washing a few times for 60 minutes, the strip was constricted by norepinephrine again, and the second dose-response curve for sodium 26 nitroprusside or Ach was obtained. The test compound, i.e., (R)-N- (3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxy-l-methylethylamino)-5- nitrobenzamide which was selected as a representative compound of this invention was added 30 minutes before adding norepinephrine. Relaxant response elicited by IOJ M nitroprusside was 20 % in control preparation, but this relaxant response increased to 32 % in the presence of the test compound (5 x 10- 8 M). Said compound at 5 x 10- 8 M also potentiated Ach-induced relaxation of corpora cavernosa. 100 j M Ach-induced relaxant response to the contractile response induced by 10- 4 M norepinephrine was only 5.0 % in control preparation, but this relaxant response to Ach increased to 18.0 % in the presence of said compound (5 x 10" 8 M). (b) Effect of test compounds on the relaxation elicited by electrical field stimulation in rabbit corpora cavernosa. The rabbit erectile tissue strip prepared according to the method described by Italiano et al. (Pharmacological Research, 30, No4, 1994) was placed 25 ml organ bath containing Krebs-Ringer solution. The bath was maintained at 37 °C and bubbled with 95% O 2 and 5% CO 2 . The solution also contained atropine (1 /M) and guanethidine (50 juM). The erectile tissue strip was stretched with a resting force of 0.25 g, and isometric contraction were recorded via force development transducer on a recorder. The bipolar platinum electrode connected to the electric stimulator was placed around the strip. The strip was equilibrated in the Krebs-Ringer solution for about 60 minutes and preconstructed by 0.1 mM norepinephrine to ascertain the responsibility of each preparation. The strip was washed several times, and then constricted by 0.1 mM norepinephrine. After getting stable contractile response to norepinephrine, the first electrical field stimulation (1 to 30 Hz, 20V, 0.5 msec duration, 90 sec interval) was delivered. 30 minutes after adding the tested compound, the second electrical field stimulation was delivered. The compounds i.e., N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(ds-4- 27 hydroxycyclohexylamino)-5-nitrobenzamide and (R)-N-(3,4- dimethoxybenzyl) -2- (2-hydroxy- 1 -methyl- ethylamino) -5- nitrobenzamide which were selected as representative compounds of this invention, at 5 x 10' 8 M potentiated relaxation of corpora cavernosa elicited by electrical field stimulation in rabbit corpora cavernosa. Relaxant response elicited by 30Hz was only 70 % in control preparation, but this relaxant response increased to 100% in the presence of 5 x 10- 8 M said compounds. (c) Male beagle weighing 8.0 - 12.0 kg were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (35 mg/kg, i.v.). After tracheotomy, the animal was artificially ventilated using a volume-cycled ventilator. The femoral artery was cannulated for continuous blood pressure and heart rate monitoring. The femoral vein was cannulated for maintenance of anesthesia and administration of tested compound. Either the left or right cavernous nerve was exposed posterolaterally to the prostate and a cuff electrode was placed around the nerve for electrical stimulation. A 21 -gauge butterfly needle was placed in the corpus cavernousum and connected to a pressure transducer for intracavernous pressure. After a period of stabilization of all parameters, erection was induced by cavernous nerve electrically stimulation (7 Hz, 10 V) and the following was measured: the duration of detumescence (time (T75) from cessation of stimulation to 75% reduction of intracavernous pressure). The test compounds, i.e., N- (3,4-diιnethoxybenzyl)-2-(cis-4-hydroxycyclohexylam.ino)-5- nitrobenzamide and (R)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxy-l- methyl-ethylamino)-5-nitrobenzamide were each dissolved in 50% PEG400. As shown in Table 2, T75 after the cessation of electrical stimulation was prolonged by the adrninistration of the compounds (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.) which were selected as representative compounds of this invention. 28 Table 2 mean of prolongation of test compounds T75 (second) N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(cis^l- 52 hy droxycyclohexylarnino) - 5-nitrobenzamide (R)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxy-l- 44 methylethylamino) - 5-nitrobenzamide Test method 3: toxicities of Compound (I) Test on the toxicity by repetitive oral administration of the compounds, i.e., N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(cis-4- hydroxycyclohexylamino)-5-nitrobenzamide and (R)-N-(3,4- dirnethoxyb enzyl) - 2 - (2 -hydroxy- 1 -methylethylarnino) - 5 -nitr obenzamide which were selected as representative compounds of this invention, in SD rat was conducted.
