R 1 is C 2 -C 6 alkyl, (C 1 -C 6 alkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkyl, di-(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl;
each R 2 , independently, is halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, halogen-substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, hydroxyC 1 -C 6 alkyl, cyano or a group —C(═O)—R 2a , where R 2a is C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
R 3 is hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, hydroxy, hydroxy-substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl, cyano, —C(C═O)H, phenyl, (C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, (C 1 -C 6 alkoxycarbonylamino)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy or (C 1 -C 6 alkylcarbonylamino)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy;
R 4 is hydroxy, esterified hydroxy, etherified hydroxy, a group
or a group
where R 4a is halogen-substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl,
or a group
where R 4b is benzyl or phenylethyl;
and
m is 1 or 2,
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
R 1 is C 2 -C 6 alkyl, (C 1 -C 6 alkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkyl, di-(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl;
each R 2 , independently, is cyano or a group —C(═O)—R 2a , where R 2a is C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
R 3 is hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, hydroxy, hydroxy-substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl, cyano, —C(C═O)H, phenyl, (C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, (C 1 -C 6 alkoxycarbonylamino)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy or (C 1 -C 6 alkylcarbonylamino)C 1 -C 6 alkoxy;
R 4 is hydroxy, etherified hydroxy, a group
or a group
where R 4a is halogen-substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl,
or a group
where R 4b is benzyl or phenylethyl; and
m is 1 or 2,
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (Ia) is selected from
3-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one,
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (Ia) is
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (Ia) is
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (Ia) is
in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
