Abstract

In order to check the structure-activity relationship and prepare more potent derivatives of imperialine with anticholinergic activity, imperialinol, 3β-acetoxyimperialine, 3β-propionoxyimperialine, and 3β-butyroxyimperialine were prepared. Compounds 4 and 5 displayed better anticholinergic activity against muscarinic receptors of the heart and brain than imperialine. The decrease in activity in 2 showed the importance of the 6-keto functionality in imparting the anticholinergic activity.
