Abstract

This invention relates to compounds that are agonists of the muscarinic M 1 receptor or M 1 and M 4 receptors and which are useful in the treatment of muscarinic M 1 or M 1 /M 4 receptor mediated diseases. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and the therapeutic uses of the compounds. Compounds provided are of formula wherein Q 4 , Q 5 , R 5 , p, V, Q 1 , Q 2 , X 1 , X 2 and W are defined herein.

Q 3 is -(Alk) q -NR 6 , wherein Alk is C 1-4 alkyl;

Q 4 is a 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic ring or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing 1, 2 or 3 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N and S, wherein the 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic ring and the 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring are optionally substituted with 1 or more Q 6 ;

Q 5 is H, F, CN, OH, NH 2 or a C 1-9 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group, wherein the C 1-9 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 F and 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms of the C 1-9 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group may optionally be replaced by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N and S;

each Q 6 is independently selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, CN, OH, NH 2 or a C 1-10 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group, wherein the C 1-10 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 F and 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms of the C 1-10 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group may optionally be replaced by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N and S;

R 4 is H or a C 1-6 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group, wherein the C 1-6 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 F and 1 or 2 carbon atoms of the C 1-6 non-aromatic hydrocarbon group may optionally be replaced by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N and S;

R 5 is F or a C 1-4 hydrocarbon group;

R 6 is H or a saturated C 1-4 hydrocarbon group;

X 1 is C 1-3 alkylene, optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents independently selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, CN, OH, NH 2 and C 1-6 alkyl, wherein the C 1-6 alkyl is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 F;

X 2 is C 1-3 alkylene, optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents independently selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, CN, OH, NH 2 and C 1-6 alkyl, wherein the C 1-6 alkyl is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 F;

V is a bond;

W is -Q 3 C(O)YCH 2 R 4 ; and

Y is —CH 2 — or —O—.

2. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein:

(a) p is 0; or

(b) p is 1 and R 5 is F or CH 3 .
