Abstract

A class of novel oxadiazoles, substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms with a non-aromatic azacyclic or azabicyclic ring and on the other ring carbon atom with a substituent which is convertible in vivo to an amino group, are potent muscarinic agonists, and exhibit improved CNS penetrability and duration of action compared with the corresponding amino compounds. The compounds are therefore useful in the treatment of neurological and mental illnesses.
