Compounds in a structurally novel series of substituted 10H-benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]indole-1-carboxylic acids and related 5,10-dihydro-indeno[1,2-b]indole-1-carboxylic acids were prepared and shown to possess potent, bladder-selective smooth muscle relaxant properties and thus are potentially useful for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence. Electrophysiological studies using rat detrusor myocytes have demonstrated that prototype compound 7 produces a significant increase in hyperpolarizing current, which is iberiotoxin (IbTx)-reversed, thus consistent with activation of the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channel (BK(Ca)).
