The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), STR1 wherein A is an optionally substituted phenyl naphthyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidyl, thienyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, thiadiazolyl having at least two adjacent ring carbon atoms or a bicyclic ring system, provided that the --CH(R3)N(R2)B--R1 and --OCH(R4 --)--D linking groups arm positioned in a 1,2 relationship to one another on ring carbon atoms and the ring atom positioned ortho to the --OCHR4 -- linking group (and therefore in the 3-position relative to the --CHR3 NR2 -- linking group) is not substituted; B is an optionally substituted ring system; D is an optionally substituted ring system; R1 is a variety of group as defined in the description; R2 is hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, C2-6 alkynyl, phenylC1-3 alkyl or 5- or 6-membered heteroarylC1-3 alkyl; R3 is hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl; R4 is hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl; and N-oxides of NR2 where chemically possible; and S-oxides of sulphur containing rings were chemically possible; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and in vivo hydrolysable esters and amides thereof. Process for their preparation, intermediates in theirpreparation, their use as therapeutic agents and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

- PYRAZINES, PYRIMIDINES AND PYRIDAZINES USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF SENILE DEMENTIA
-
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.
