The synthesis of the potent and highly selective silicon-containing antimuscarinic agent o-methoxysila- hexocyclium methyl sulfate and its corresponding tertiary amine (isolated as the dihydrochloride) is described. The quarternary compound is an omethoxy derivative of sila-hexocyclium methyl sulfate, which represents one of the tools currently used in experimental pharmacology for the subclassification of muscarinic receptors. The omethoxy derivative, the pharmacological profile of which differs substantially from tbat of the nonmethoxy compound, is also recommended as a tool for the investigation of muscarinic receptor heterogeneity.
