Abstract
The enantiomers of 1‐methyl‐3‐(10__H__‐phenothiazine‐10‐ylmethyl)‐1‐azoniabicyclo[2,2,2]octane iodide (1) were prepared by chiral chromatographic resolution of the precursor mequitazine (2). The (+)‐(S)‐enantiomer 1b is 10‐fold more potent than (−)‐(R)‐enantiomer 1a as a histamine antagonist, while the two enantiomers show the same antimuscarinic activity in vitro. The absolute configuration of the more active dextrorotatory isomer has been determined by X‐ray analysis. Conformational analysis and molecular modeling suggest that the (+)‐(S)‐enantiomer can adopt a conformation similar to that attributed to the receptor binding conformers of classical antihistamines. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
