A series of aryl tropanyl esters and amides related to 1H-indole-3-car
boxylic acid endo 8-methyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl ester (ICS 205
9230, CAS 89565-68-4) were synthesized and evaluated for antinocicepti
ve activity using the hot-plate test. Of these, the benzofurane-3-carb
oxylic ester of tropine (1) was found powerfully to increase the pain
threshold, with a cholinergic mechanism of action. Despite the structu
ral similarity with ICS 205930, the analgesia induced by 1 seems not t
o be due to 5-HT3 receptor interaction, and there is evidence of invol
vement of the central 5-HT4 receptor
