A new class of antimuscarinic drugs was designed and synthesized. The compounds are "soft" quaternary ammonium esters in which there is only one carbon atom separating the ester oxygen and the quaternary head. The compounds are potent anticholinergics when derived

Ester hydrolysis represents an important biotransformation pathway for various parasympatholytic agents. Cleavage of the ciclotropium ester bond results in the formation of alpha-phenylciclopentylacetic acid (PCA). The relevance of this metabolic route for ciclotropium bromide (HIT-PCE, CAS 85166-20-7) including its stereochemical
