This invention provides substituted heteroaromatic ring derivatives which are represented by a general formula [I] below: ##STR1## [in the formula, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be same or different and each signifies hydrogen, halogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.3 signifies C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl; R.sup.4 signifies a heteroaromatic ring group which may be condensed with a benzene ring and which has 1 or 2 hetero atoms selected from a group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms (said heteroaromatic ring group being optionally substituted with lower alkyl, halogen, lower alkoxy, amino or hydroxymethyl); and X stands for O or NH] or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The substituted heteroaromatic ring derivatives of the present invention have selective M.sub.3 muscarinic receptor antagonist activity, and hence they are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents which are safe and efficacious with little side effects, of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic airway obstruction and pulmonary fibrosis, etc.; urinary diseases which induce such urination disorders as pollakiurea, urgency and urinary incontinence, etc.; and gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, spasm of gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal hyperkinesis.
本发明提供了一种由下式[I]表示的取代杂芳环衍
生物:##STR1## [在公式中,R.sup.1和R.sup.2可以相同或不同,分别表示氢、卤素或低烷基;R.sup.3表示C.sub.3-C.sub.6环烷基或环烯基;R.sup.4表示一种杂芳环基团,可以与苯环融合,并且具有从氮、氧和
硫原子中选择的1或2个杂原子(该杂芳环基团可以选用低烷基,卤素,低烷氧基,
氨基或羟甲基进行取代);X代表O或NH]或其药学上可接受的盐。本发明的取代杂芳环衍
生物具有选择性的M.sub.3肌动蛋白受体拮抗作用,因此它们可用作治疗或预防剂,对于呼吸道疾病,如哮喘、慢性气道阻塞和肺纤维化等,具有安全、有效且副作用小的作用;对于引起排尿障碍,如尿频、尿急和尿失禁等的泌尿系统疾病;以及对于肠易激综合征、胃肠道痉挛和胃肠道过度运动等胃肠道疾病。
