There is disclosed a compound shown by a formula of ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms or acyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms: R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are a hydrogen atom, alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, phenyl radical, halogen atom, cyano radical, acyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, nitro radical, alkoxy group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or substituted or non-substituted amino group, respectively; n is an integer of 1-3; and dotted line means a possible ring, and a salt thereof. The compound and salt bind with muscarinic receptor in brain to develop a powerful actuation thereof and thus those can be used as an effective ingredient for preventing and curing senile dementias, and more particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Compounds and use thereof

An aromatic amino-substituted compound represented by formula: ##STR1## wherein A represents CH, N, or N.fwdarw.O; R.sub.1 represents a nitro group or an amino group; R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or an acyl group; and R.sub.3 represents a group: ##STR2## wherein m represents 0 or 1; n represents an integer of from 0 to 3; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 each represents a hydrogen atom or a straight chain or branched lower alkyl group; R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 may be joined together to form an alkylene chain forming a heterocyclic ring; R.sub.5 and R.sub.7 may be joined together to form an alkylene chain forming a heterocyclic ring and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 may be joined together to form an alkylene chain forming a heterocyclic ring,

Nootropic agents, compositions of, and method of use thereof

1-Pyrrolidineacetamide derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen atom or a trialkylsilyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen atom, respectively, when R.sub.1 is hydrogen atom, R.sub.4 is an alkyl group, R.sub.5 is a radical of ##STR2## in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are an alkyl group, respectively, m and n are an integer of 1 to 3, respectively,
