I changed the -OH group in the tropic acid to -CH2-CH2-NH2 side chain with paying attention to the SAR,
and here is the explanation:
-NH2 with pka near 10 is most likely to be in the ionized form (NH3+) and this would prevent the passive
diffusion across the blood brain barrier (BBB) and so on decrease the CNS side effects.
-CH2-CH2- to increase the distance between the added amino group and the preexisting carbonyl and
phenyl functionalities which will decrease their electron withdrawal effect on the added amino group.
* attached are two files made with chemdraw program one for the atropine structure and the second is
for the modified structure.
