Abstract:
Considering the great pharmacological interest in phenoxy/phenylthioalkanoic esters of open-chain or cyclic aminoalcohols, a set of ten such esters of lupinine was prepared. Initially, their ability to displace [3H]QNB from rat brain preparation was investigated. With the exception of two, all the prepared esters exhibited good affinity to muscarinic receptors (on a non-selective basis), with pKi in the range 6.67-7.68.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
