SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL SUCCINAMIDE DERIVATIVES HAVING THE 1-DIHYDRO-6H-PYRIDO[2,3-B][1,4]BENZODIAZEPIN-6-ONE SKELETON AS POTENT AND SELECTIVE M-2 MUSCARINIC RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS .1.

A series of 1-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one derivat
ives containing the succinamide skeleton has been synthesized and eval
uated for M-1, M-2 and M-3 muscarinic receptor binding affinities (in
vitro) and M-2 and M-3 muscarinic receptor antagonistic activities (in
vivo). Some of them showed higher and more selective binding affiniti
es for M-2 muscarinic receptors than that of AF-DX 116. Among them, 1-
dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one (68) was found to be
the most potent and selective M-2 muscarinic receptor antagonist in vi
tro. This compound also strongly inhibited the oxotremorine-induced br
adycardia after intravenous administration and showed 130-fold selecti
vity for M-2 muscarinic receptors over M-3 muscarinic receptors in viv
o.
