Synthesis of 1-Methyl-5-(pyrazol-3- and -5-yl- and 1, 2, 4-triazol-3- and 5-yl)-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine Derivatives and Their Evaluation as Muscarinic Receptor Ligands
A series of 1‐methyl‐5‐(pyrazol‐3‐ and ‐5‐yl‐ and 1, 2, 4‐triazol‐3‐ and 5‐yl)‐1, 2, 3, 6‐tetrahydropyridine derivatives structurally related to arecoline were synthesized and evaluated on M1, M2, and M3 muscarinicreceptors using [3H] pirenzepine and [3H] NMS as ligands. The binding affinity depended on the position and size of the substituents. The most interesting compounds were further evaluated
