Abstract
Substituted N-(silatran-1-ylmethyl)acetamides, N-methyl-N-[1-(3′,7′,10′-trimethylsilatran-1-yl)methyl]acetamide (2a) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-[1-(3′,7′,10′-trimethylsilatran-1-yl)methyl]acetamide (2b) were prepared by the reactions of triisopropanolamine with N-methyl-N-(trimethoxysilylmethyl)acetamide (1a) and 2,2-dimethoxy-4-acetyl-1-oxa-4-aza-2-silacyclohexane (1b), respectively. According to X-ray data, the structures of the silatrane moieties are superpositions of unsymmetrical and symmetrical stereoisomers. The O Si coordination between the central atom and exocyclic substituent is absent in both compounds. Silatranes 2a and 2b are partial muscarinic agonists which demonstrate submaximal effect and mimic the effect of acetylcholine by binding directly to cholinoreceptors of the ileal smooth muscle.
