  • Patent number: 8222274
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a compound which may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [Means for Resolution] It was found that a pyrrole derivative characterized by the possession of a guanidinocarbonyl group or amido group as a substituent group at the 3-position, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, has a strong antagonism for both of the 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor. In addition, the compound of the present invention having the antagonistic activity for both of the receptors showed a good pharmacological action in comparison with the case in which an antagonist selective for either one of the receptors was used alone. Based on the above, the compound of the present invention is useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

  • Publication number: 20110319621
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of solifenacin by reacting quinuclidin-3-ol and bis(aryl) carbonate to form (3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl 4-aryl carbonate of formula (IVa); and treating (3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl 4-aryl carbonate of formula (IVa) with (1S)-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline of formula (V) in an inert atmosphere to form a Solifenacin base, which is converted into its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The invention also provides a compound, (3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl 4-aryl carbonate of formula (IVa), which is used as an intermediate for the preparation of Solifenacin base and a process for the preparation thereof.
