Abstract

Provided herein are small molecule compounds of the following formula (I): or a stereoisomer, tautomer, solvate, ester or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein A, B, C, L 1 , L 2 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 3 , w, x, y and z are as defined herein. Methods for treating diseases/disorders by antagonizing muscarinic receptors, including specifically antagonizing muscarinic receptor 4 (M4), are also disclosed. Such diseases/disorders are e.g. neurological diseases/disorders such as e.g. Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and the cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia, Parkinson's Disease, drug induced Parkinsonism, dyskinesias, dystonia, chorea, levodopa induced dyskinesia, cerebral palsy, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Huntington's disease. Preferred compounds are e.g. N-[2-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)ethyl]-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxamide derivatives and related compounds wherein the pyrazine has been replaced by e.g. pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyridine or phenyl.
