Claim:
A compound according to formula (I) wherein: {circle around (C)} is a phenyl ring, a C 4 to C 9 heteroaromatic group containing one or more heteroatoms or a naphthalenyl, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalenyl or biphenyl group; R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or halogen atom, or a hydroxy group, or a phenyl, —OR 4 , —SR 4 , —NR 4 R 5 , —NHCOR 4 , —CONR 4 R 5 , —CN, —NO 2 , —COOR 4 or —CF 3 group, or a straight or branched lower alkyl group which may optionally be substituted with a hydroxy or alkoxy group, wherein R 4 and R 5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, straight or branched lower alkyl group or together form an alicyclic ring; or R 1 and R 2 together form an aromatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic ring, n is an integer from 0 to 4; A represents a —CH 2 —, —CH═CR 6 —, —CR 6 ═CH—, —CR 6 R 7 —, —CO—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, SO 2 or —NR 6 — group, wherein R 6 and R 7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, straight or branched lower alkyl group or R 6 and R 7 together form an alicyclic ring; m is an integer from 0 to 8; provided that when m=0, A is not —CH 2 —; p is an integer from 1 to 2 and the substitution in the azoniabicyclic ring may be in the 2, 3 or 4 position including all possible configurations of the asymmetric carbons; B represents a group of formula ii): wherein R 10 represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy or methyl group; and Q represents a single bond, —CH 2 —, —CH 2 —CH 2 —, —O—, —O—CH 2 —, —S—, —S—CH 2 — or —CH═CH—; and X represents a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono or polyvalent acid.
