    Abstract:
    Preparation of analogs of 4-[N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamoyloxy]-2-butynyltrimethylammonium chloride [1 (McN-A-343)], cis- and trans-4-[N-(4-chlorophenyl)carbamoyloxy]-2-butenyltrimethylammonium iodides (5 and 6), and the corresponding epoxides and cyclopropanes is reported. Pharmacological testing for ganglion-stimulating activity demonstrated that the trans olefin 6 and trans epoxide 8 have properties similar to 1, while the trans cyclopropane analog 10 was inactive. All cis compounds were inactive. The muscarinic ganglion-stimulating properties of the active compounds are interpreted in terms of similar fit at the receptor level by the alkyltrimethylammonium ion and the ether oxygen 5.7 A distant, as well as an electron-rich center midway between groups in the form of a double bond or unshared electron pairs. Comparison of smooth muscle and ganglion-stimulating properties of the compounds showed that trans epoxide 8 was the most selective for muscarinic ganglionic sites.
