Synthesis and anticholinergic activity of 8-methyl-8-azabicyclo [321] octanes analogs of atropine

ABSTRACT

Ten esters derived from 3-hydroxy-8-methyl-8-azabicycle [3.2.1] octane and the corresponding methiodin salts were synthesised. The novel compounds were evaluated for anti-cholinergic activity using rabbit duodenum assay. Among these compounds, 8-methyl-8-azabicycle [3.2.1.] loct-3-y1-3-carbisobutoxy-3- phenyl-propionate [12] was found to be the most effective antispasmodic, comparable in potency to atropine
