## Background
This application is a U.S. National Stage of International Application No. PCT/JP01/05987 filed Jul. 10, 2001.


TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to novel ester derivatives, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutics containing them and their use as medicines, especially for the treatment of various diseases of the respiratory system.
BACKGROUND ART
Antagonism to muscarinic receptors are known to cause bronchodilation, gastrointestinal hypanakinesis, gastric hyposecretion, dry mouth, mydriasis, suppression of bladder contraction, hypohydrosis, tachycardia and the like [cf. “Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, 4th ed., (APPLETON & LANGE), pp.83-92, (1989); and Drug News & Perspective, 5(6), pp.345-352 (1992)].
It has been made clear through recent studies that there are at least three subtypes of muscarine receptors (M1 receptors, M2 receptors and M3 receptors); which receptors are present in tissues or organs at different distribution patterns. M1 receptors are present mainly on the brain; M2 receptors, on the heart; and M3 receptors, on the smooth muscles and glandular tissues. Whereas, all of the large number of compounds heretofore known to exhibit antagonism to muscarinic receptors antagonize these three subtypes of muscarinic receptors non-selectively. Consequently, in oral administration of these compounds as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for treatment of diseases of, for example, the respiratory system, in addition to such side effects as dry mouth, nausea and mydriasis, serious side effects associated with the central nervous system, such as dementia, induced particularly by M1 receptors and those associated with the heart, such as tachycardia caused by M2 receptors present problems.
Currently, administration by inhalation of non-selective muscarine antagonists as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for respiratory diseases is clinically applied. However, those medicines are subject to the problems that durability of their action is short and their inhalation plural times per day is necessary, and also that they have such side effects as tachycardia and dry mouth attributable to the non-selectivity of said receptors.
As compounds having a structure resembling that of the compounds of the present invention, for example, those described in JP-Hei 1 (1989)-131145A or in Farmaco, Vol.47, No.9, pp.1133-1147 (1992) can be cited, which, however, neither concretely disclose nor suggest the compounds of the present invention.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Furthermore, they also exhibit excellent pharmacological effect and durability of the action in inhalation therapy.

Utility of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated by the following tests of their inhibition of binding to muscarinic receptors and of their antagonism to various muscarinic receptors.
Tests on Inhibition of Binding to Muscarinic Receptors
The following tests were performed according to an improvement of the method of Hargreaves, et al. (Br. J. Pharmacol. 107: 494-501, 1992). CHO cells expressing m2 and m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (Receptor Biology, Inc.), 0.2 nM [3H]-N-methylscopolamine (84 Ci/mmol, New England Nuclear Co.) and each of the compounds to be tested, were incubated in 0.5 ml of 50 mM tris-HCI-10 mM MgCl2−1 mM EDTA solution (pH 7.4) at room temperature (about 20-25° C.) for 120 minutes, suction filtered over a glass filter (Packard, Unifilter Plate GF/C) and washed 4 times with 1 ml of ice-cold tris-HCl buffer. The filter was dried at 50° C. for an hour, then a scintillator (Packard, Microscinti 0) was added, and the radioactivity of [3H]-N-methylscopolamine adsorbed onto the filter was counted with a microplate scintillation counter (Packard, TopCount). Receptor non-specific binding of [3H]-N-methylscopolamine was determined by adding 1 μM N-methylscopolamine. The binding affinity of each compound of the present invention to muscarinic receptors is expressed as dissociation constant (Ki) calculated from the concentration of tested compound which achieves 50% inhibition (IC50 value) of binding of labeled ligand, [3H]-N-methylscopolamine, following the method of Cheng and Prusoff [Biochem Pharmacol., Vol. 22, pp. 3099-3108 (1973)]

Test of Antagonism to Muscarinic Receptors (in vitro)
1) Test for Antagonism to M2 Receptor in an Isolated Rat Right Atrium
These tests were performed according to a conventional method. A male SD strain rat (weighing 300-500 g) was killed by exsanguination, and the right atrium was isolated. This preparation was isometrically suspended in Magnus tube filled with 20 ml of Krebs Henseleit solution (gassed with 95% O2-5% CO2, 32° C.) with an initial tension of 0.5 g. The heart rate was recorded with a heart rate counter. After the preparation was equilibrated for 30 minutes, carbachol (1.7 nM-36 mM) was cumulatively administered in three-fold increasing doses. Thus, a decrease in heart rate was measured to obtain a dose-response curve for the control experiment. After the preparation was washed with fresh solution to restore the heart rate, a test compound was administered thereto. Twenty minutes later, carbachol was cumulatively administered again. Responses to carbachol were expressed as percentages based on the heart rate before administration of carbachol as 100%. The antagonistic potency (KB value) of the test compound was determined from the degree of shift of the dose-response curve obtained by treatment with individual test compound of the present invention.
2) Tests for Antagonism to the Airway M3 Receptor in an Isolated Rat Tranchea
These tests were performed according to a conventional method. A male SD strain rat (weighing 300-500 g) was killed by exsanguination, and the trachea was isolated. Annular segments (2 mm wide) were cut out from the trachea and cut transversely at the anterior cartilage part to make open ring preparation. The preparation was suspended in a Magnus tube filled with 5 ml of Krebs-Henseleit solution (gassed with 95% O2−5% CO2, 32° C.) with an initial tension of 1.0 g and a resting tension of 0.6 g. The tension of the preparation was recorded isometrically. After being equilibrated for an hour, the preparation was made to contract twice by treatment with 10−4 M carbachol, and the second contraction induced by carbachol was used as the reference contraction. After the preparation was washed with fresh solution to be restored to the base line, a vehicle or one of the test compounds was administered to another preparation prepared from the same individual. Twenty minutes later, carbachol (1.7 nM-36 mM) was cumulatively administered in three-fold increasing doses to obtain a dose-response curve. The dose-response curve was plotted by expressing responses as percentages based on the reference contraction of the preparation as 100%. The antagonistic potency (KB value) of the test compound was determined from the degree of shift of the dose-response curve obtained by treatment with the test compound.

Test for Antagonism Against Muscarinic M3 Receptor (in vivo)
1) Tests for Bronchodilation in Anesthetized Dogs (Inhalation Administration)
Bronchodilating action after administering each of the tested compound by inhalation was evaluated by measuring the inhibitory effect on airway resistance-increasing reaction in methacholine provocation test. In the experiments, 12-36 months old male beagle dogs (weighing 10-15 kg) were used, which were anesthetized with pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.v.) and intubated in their bronchus. After their respiration was stabilized, they were connected to Astograph (TCK-6100H, Chest Co.) and methacholine provocation test was conducted by 3 Hz oscillation method. Methacholine which is an inhalation-inducing agent was diluted with physiologic salt solution to ten concentration levels starting from 40,000 μg/ml, successively as 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,500, 1,250, 625, 312.5, 156 and 78 μg/ml. Using the nebulizer in the Astograph, the test animals were made to inhale the methacholine solutions starting from that of the lowest concentration, each for one minute per solution, and changes in their respiration resistance was continuously recorded. The concentration level at which the respiration resistance reached twice the initial value was recorded as the methacholine reaction threshold value. Before evaluating the tested medicines, methacholine reaction threshold values1) of the dogs not treated with any of the tested medicines were measured at least twice at a week or longer interval(s) to select the dogs which showed reproducible reactions.
The inhaling administration of each of the tested medicines (1 mg/ml) was carried out for 10 minutes under anesthesis with pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.v.) using the nebulizer in the Astograph. In 5 minutes and 4 hours from the inhaling administration, methacholine provocation tests were conducted to measure the methacholine reaction threshold values2) after administration of the tested medicines. Same measurements after 24 hours were conducted after those conducted after the dogs recovered from the 4th hour measurements.
The bronchodilator activity of the test compound (shift value) was determined according to the following equation. The result was shown in Table 3.

As is clear from the results shown in above Table 3, the compounds of the present invention exhibited powerful bronchodilation action.
As above, the compounds of formula [I] of the present invention exhibit potent and selective antagonism to muscarinic M3 receptors and exhibit excellent pharmacological activity and long duration of action also when administered by inhalation. Hence, they can be administered to patients orally or parenterally, preferably by inhalation, as safe pharmaceutics exhibiting little side effects, in the treatment of, in particular, such respiratory diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic airway obstruction, fibroid lung, pulmonary emphysema and rhinitis.
In clinically applying the compounds of the present invention for the treatment or prophylaxis of such diseases, they may be combined with pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants in the usual manner to formulate pharmaceutical preparation forms suitable for administration. As the adjuvants, various additives conventionally used in the field of pharmaceutics can be used. For example, gelatin, lactose, sucrose, titanium oxide, starch, crystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, corn starch, microcrystalline wax, white petrolatum, magnesium aluminate metasilicate, anhydrous calcium phosphate, citric acid, trisodium citrate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sorbitol, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polysorbate, sucrose fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene, hardened castor oil, polyvinylpyrrolidone, magnesium stearate, light anhydrous silicic acid, talc, vegetable oil, benzyl alcohol, acacia, propylene glycol, polyalkylene glycol, cyclodextrin and hydroxypropylcyclodextrin can be named.
As the dosage forms of pharmaceutical compositions prepared by using these adjuvants, solid preparations such as tablets, capsules, granules, powders and suppositories; and liquid preparations such as syrups, elixirs and injections can be named. These preparations may be formulated according to conventional techniques in the field of pharmaceutics. Liquid preparations may be in a form which is dissolved or suspended in water or other suitable medium prior to use. In particular, injections may be in the form advancedly dissolved or suspended in physiological saline solution or a glucose solution, or in powder form for reconstitution by dissolution or suspension in physiological saline or a glucose solution prior to use. If desired, such injections may contain buffer agents and/or preservatives.
Also as preparations for non-oral administration such as inhalant, they may be formulated into aerosol, inhaling powder or inhaling liquid. The inhaling liquid can take a form to be used as dissolved or suspended in water or other suitable medium at the application time.
In these pharmaceutical preparations, a compound of the present invention may be present at a ratio of from 1.0 to 100% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation. These pharmaceutical preparations may additionally contain other therapeutically effective compounds.
When the compounds of the present invention are used as medicines, their dosage level and dosage schedule may vary according to sex, age and body weight of individual patient, severity of symptoms, type and range of the desired therapeutic effect, and the like. Generally for oral administration, they can be administered in a daily dose of 0.1 to 100 mg/kg for an adult at one time or in several divided doses. For parenteral administration, they can be administered in a daily dose of 0.001 to 10 mg/kg for an adult, at one time or in several divided doses.
