M. Brufani et al., SYNTHESIS OF 2'-HEPTYLCARBAMOYLOXY-2-METHYL-6,7-BENZOMORPHAN - A NEW ANALOG OF HEPTYLPHYSOSTIGMINE (MF-201), Il Farmaco, 49(11), 1994, pp. 743-745
The synthesis of 2'-heptylcarbamoyloxy-2-methyl-6,7-benzomorphan is de
scribed. The compound in structurally related to the cholinesterase in
hibitor heptylphysostigmine (MF 201) because the angular methyl group
of the esoroline nucleus has been changed into a bridging carbon and t
he anilinic nitrogen has been raplaced by a methylene group. This comp
ound proved to be a potent cholinesterase in vitro inhibitor.
