- Oxadiazoles useful in the treatment of senile dementia
-
A class of novel oxadiazoles, substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms with a non-aromatic azacyclic or azabicyclic ring, and substituted on the other ring carbon atom with a substituent of low lipophilicity; are potent muscarinic agonists, and have good CNS penetrability. The compounds are therefore useful in the treatment of neurological and mental illnesses.

- THIADIAZOLES USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF SENILE DEMENTIA
-
A class of novel thiadiazoles, substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms with a non-aromatic azacyclic or azabicyclic ring system, and substituted on the other ring carbon atom with a substituent of low lipophilicity, or a hydrocarbon substituent; are potent muscarinic agonists, and have good CNS penetrability. The compounds are therefore useful in the treatment of neurological and mental illnesses, and are also of benefit in the treatment of severe painful conditions.

- Substituent variation in azabicyclic triazole- and tetrazole-based muscarinic receptor ligands
-
The effect of variation of the 1-azabicyclic substituent on the novel 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-, 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-, tetrazol-5-yl-, and tetrazol-2-yl- based muscarinic receptor ligands has been studied, and the exo- azabicyclic[2.2.1]hept-3-yl substituent was found to give the most potent and efficacious compounds. In addition, variation of the second substituent on 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl- and tetrazol-2-yl-based muscarinic receptor ligands has yielded a series of novel compounds with high potencies and efficacies, ranging from full agonists to antagonists. Small lipophilic electron withdrawing substituents give potent but low efficacy compounds, while small polar electron donating substituents give potent and efficacious compounds. The activity of these compounds is described in terms of a model of the receptor involving lipophilic and hydrogen bonding interactions. These compounds provide muscarinic ligands with high potency and a range of efficacies suitable for testing as candidate drugs in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

- Synthesis and biological activity of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives: Highly potent and efficacious agonists for cortical muscarinic receptors
-
The synthesis and biochemical evaluation of novel 1,2,4-oxadiazole-based muscarinic agonists which can readily penetrate into the CNS is reported. Efficacy and binding of these compounds are markedly influenced by the structure and physicochemical properties of the cationic head group. In a series of azabicyclic ligands efficacy and affinity are influenced by the size of the surface area presented to the receptor, at the active site, and the degree of conformational flexibility. The exo-1-azanorbornane 16a represents the optimum arrangement, and this compound is one of the most efficacious and potent muscarinic agonists known. In a series of isoquinuclidine based muscarinic agonists efficacy and are influenced by the geometry between the cationic head group and hydrogen bond acceptor pharmacophore and steric bulk in the vicinity of the base. The anti configuration represented by 22a is optimal for muscarinic activity. Ligands with pK(a) below 6.5 show poor binding to the muscarinic receptor as exemplified by the diazabicyclic derivative 42.
