G. Cignarella et al., SYNTHESIS OF A NEW SERIES OF N-SUBSTITUTED-3-[L-ALKYL(ARYL)- 4-PIPERIDYL]AZETIDIN-2-ONES AS POSSIBLE MUSCARINIC AGENTS, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 30(5), 1993, pp. 1337-1340
A new series of tuted-3-[1-alkyl(aryl)-4-piperidyl]azetidin-2-ones 2a-
j structurally related to the previously reported 2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]n
onan-1-ones 1 have been synthesized and tested for their activity as m
uscarinic agents, both in vitro and in vivo. Preliminary pharmacologic
al results showed that compounds 2 are devoid of significant cholinerg
ic properties.
