Pyrazines, pyrimidines and pyridazines useful in the treatment of senile dementia

摘要

The present invention provides pyrazines, pyridazines or pyrimidines, or salts or prodrugs thereof, substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms thereof with a non-aromatic azacyclic or azabicyclic ring system; and independently substituted on each of the other ring carbon atoms with a substituent of low lipophilicity or a hydrocarbon substituent; which compounds stimulate central muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and therefore are useful in the treatment of neurological and mental illnesses.
