  • Patent number: 6602891
    Abstract: A compound of Formula (III): wherein X is a linkage independently selected from (CH2)12 or (CH2CH2)4O3 and wherein R3 is independently selected from H, CH2CH3, COCH3 or and acid addition salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. The compounds have unusually high affinity for muscarinic receptors, and exhibit agonist activity useful in the treatment of neurological and other disorders, in which stimulating cholinergic activity is desirable.
