Abstract

The invention concerns novel derivatives of 3,3-diphenylpropylamines, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel compounds, and the use of the compounds for preparing drugs. More particularly, the invention relates to novel prodrugs of antimuscarinic agents with superior pharmacokinetic properties compared to existing drugs such as oxybutynin and tolterodine, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, a method of using said compounds and compositions for the treatment of urinary incontinence, gastrointestinal hyperactivity (irritable bowel syndrome) and other smooth muscle contractile conditions.

Claims (38)

1. R-(+)-isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester.

2. A salt of R-(+)-isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester with a physiologically acceptable acid.

3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of R-(+)-isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester, or a salt thereof with a physiologically acceptable acid and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

4. A method of antagonizing a muscarinic receptor in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the patient R-(+)-isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester or a salt thereof with a physiologically acceptable acid so as to result in contact of the muscarinic receptor with an effective amount of R-(+)-2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenol.

5. A method of treating a disease in a mammal that is amenable to treatment by antagonizing muscarinic receptors in the mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of R-(+)-isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester or a salt thereof with a physiologically acceptable acid.

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein the disease is urinary incontinence.

7. The method according to claim 6 wherein the mammal is a human.

8. A compound selected from the group consisting of:

acetic acid 4-acetoxy-3-(3-diisopropylamino- 1-phenylpropyl)-benzyl ester, n-butyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester, isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester, isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-isobutyryloxymethylphenyl ester,

acetic acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester,

including racemic mixtures and individual enantiomers of said compounds, and salts of said compounds with a physiologically acceptable acid.

10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of:

acetic acid 4-acetoxy-3-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-benzyl ester, n-butyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester, isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenyl ester, isobutyric acid 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-isobutyryloxymethylphenyl ester,
