F. Novelli et al., Quinolizidinyl derivatives of 5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one as ligands for muscarinic receptors, BIOORG MED, 9(20), 1999, pp. 3031-3034
Quinolizidinyl derivatives of the tricyclic systems characterizing pirenzep
ine and nuvenzepine, were prepared and tested as ligands for muscarinic M-1
, M-2 and M-3 receptors; 5,11-dihydro-11-[(S-lupinyl)-thioacetyl]-6H-pyrido
[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one exhibited IC50 = 10 nM for M-1 and 760 nM f
or both M2 and M3 subtypes. During the synthesis some interesting side comp
ounds were isolated and characterized. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
