Herein, we describe the synthesis and pharmacological profiles of novel quinuclidinyl heteroarylcarbamate derivatives. Among them, the quinuclidin-4-yl thiazolylcarbamate derivative ASP9133 was identified as a promising long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) showing more selective inhibition of bronchoconstriction against salivation and more rapid onset of action in a rat model than tiotropium bromide.
Keywords: ASP9133; COPD; In vivo selectivity; Long acting muscarinic receptor antagonist.
