Dioxane and oxathiane nuclei: Suitable substructures for muscarinic agonists
Muscarinic agonists, bearing 1,4-dioxane and 1,4-oxathiane nuclei, were synthesized and tested to evaluate their potency at M 1–M 4 muscarinic receptor subtypes. The stereochemical relationship between the 2-side chain and the 6-methyl group plays an important role in drug–receptor interaction, sinc...

Summary: | Muscarinic agonists, bearing 1,4-dioxane and 1,4-oxathiane nuclei, were synthesized and tested to evaluate their potency at M
1–M
4 muscarinic receptor subtypes. The stereochemical relationship between the 2-side chain and the 6-methyl group plays an important role in drug–receptor interaction, since the
cis isomers are more potent than the corresponding
trans isomers. However, the latter are able to discriminate between the muscarinic receptor subtypes. Among them compound
5b proves particularly interesting, since it selectively activates the ileal M
3 receptor subtype and is devoid of agonist activity at the others. |
