SAR exploration of multiple regions of a tyrosine urea template led to the identification of very potent muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists such as 10b with good subtype selectivity for M(3) over M(1). The structure-activity relationships (SAR) and optimization of the tyrosine urea series are described.
