Patent ID: 6841575

Claim:
A method for treating increased urinary urgency or urinary incontinence in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to said patient an effective amount of a medicament comprising a 1-phenyl-3-dimethylaminopropane compound corresponding to formula I wherein X is selected from the group consisting of OH, F, Cl, H and OC(O)R 7 , where R 7 is a C 1-8 -alkyl group that is branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, R 1 is a C 1-4 -alkyl group that is branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and C 1-4 -alkyl that is branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, or R 2 and R 3 together form a C 4-7 -cycloalkyl group which is saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, R 9 to R 18 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, I, CH 2 F, CHF 2 , CF 3 , OH, SH, OR 14 , OCF 3 , SR 14 , NR 17 R 18 , SOOH 3 , SOCF 3 ; SO 2 CH 3 , SO 2 CF 3 , CN, COOR 14 , NO 2 , CONR 17 R 18 , —OCH 2 O—, —OCH 2 CH 2 O—, —OCH═CH—, —CH═CHO—, —CH═C(CH 3 )O—, —OC(CH 3 )═CH—, —(CH 2 ) 4 —, —OCH═CHO—, C 1-6 -alkyl that is branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, and phenyl that is unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, where R 14 is selected from the group consisting of C 1-6 -alkyl, pyridyl, thienyl, thiazolyl, phenyl, benzyl, phenethyl, PO(O—C 1-4 -alkyl) 2 , CO(OC 1-5 -alkyl), CONH—C 6 H 4 -(C 1-3 -alkyl), CO(C 1-5 -alkyl), CO—CHR 17 —NHR 18 , and CO—C 6 H 4 —R 15 , where R 15 is selected from the group consisting of ortho-OCOC 1-3 -alkyl, meta-CH 2 N(R 16 ) 2 , and para-CH 2 N(R 16 ) 2 , where R 16 is selected from the group consisting of C 1-4 -alkyl and 4-morpholino, where R 17 and R 18 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, phenyl, benzyl, phenethyl, and C 1-6 -alkyl that is branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or singly or multiply substituted, and where —OCH 2 O—, —OCH 2 CH 2 O—, —OCH═CH—, —CH═CHO—, —CH═C(CH 3 )O—, —OC(CH 3 )═CH—, —(OH 2 ) 4 —, and —OCH═CHO— are formed together by two adjacent radicals selected from the group R 9 , R 10 , and R 11 to produce a ring; or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
