Epibatidine and derivatives, compositions and methods of treating pain (Patent Number U.S. 5,314,899)

The present invention is directed to compounds, compositions and methods of treating pain, and derivatives that have potent analgetic activity. The compounds have the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from H, lower alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.9 cycloalkyl, acyl, and C.sub.3 -C.sub.9 cycloalkylalkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, or C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkenyl or C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkynyl; and wherein R is selected from cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryls (selected from the group consisting of pyridyl, thienyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, and pyrimidyl) or phenoxy and wherein said R groups can be substituted with hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 lower alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 lower alkoxyl, halo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 haloalkyl, amino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino and C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 dialkylamino, and sulfonamido or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
