Geometric cis, trans isomers, derivatives of 2-substituted-1,3-dioxanes were designed and studied as antimuscarinic agents. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as perchlorides and methiodides by functional tests with rabbit vas deferens (putative M1), guinea-pig heart (M2) and guinea-pig ileum (M3). The effect of the replacement of a trimethylammonium group with a dimethysulfonium in the two rings was also evaluated. Pharmacological results indicate that the 1,3-dioxane nucleus shows the highest stereoselective values on the studied receptors.
