title: Malonamic acid derivatives as M1 selective muscarinic receptor antagonists.
abstract: A series of malonamic acid esters with suitable amino alcohols, typical of antimuscarinic compounds, was synthesized and the affinities for the three pharmacologically defined muscarinic receptor subtypes, namely M1, M2 and M3, were evaluated by radioligand displacement experiments. It was found that the esters with 3-quinuclidinol 7b, 7f-g, 8 and 9 are ligands with intermediate to high affinity for the M1 receptors, for which they show a preferential binding. Unexpectedly, the ester 7a with tropine bound with negligible affinity to all the receptors investigated. The introduction of a phenyl group on the carboxamido moiety of 7b gave compound 9, which showed an affinity for the M1 receptor comparable with that of the reference drug Pirenzepine 1.
