The invention relates to the imidazole derivatives as selective antagonistic substances against muscarinic acetylcholine and provides imidazole derivatives represented by a general formula (1) or (2) ##STR1## [wherein R.sub.1 is a phenyl group which may have substituent or thienyl group, R.sub.2 is a cyano group, a carboxyl group, CONR.sub.7 R.sub.8 group (wherein R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 each independently represent hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group, or R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 may form a ring by alkylene chain which may contain hetero atom) or COOR.sub.9 group (wherein R.sub.9 is a lower alkyl group), R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 each independently represent hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group which may have substituent or cycloalkyl groups, or may form a condensed ring at the positions of R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 with benzene ring, R.sub.10 is a lower alkyl group or an aralkyl group which may have substituent, m is an integer from 1 to 6, and z is a halogen atom].

Imidazole derivatives and process for preparing the same

Arylglycinamide derivatives represented by a general formula (1) ##STR1## (wherein Ar denotes a phenyl group which may have 1 to 3 substituents or naphthyl group which may have 1 to 3 substituents, R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 denote identically or differently hydrogen atoms or lower alkyl groups with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 denotes a lower alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl group with 3 to 6 carbon atoms, lower alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may have a phenyl group which may have 1 to 3 substituents, norbornyl group, adamantyl group or phenyl group which may have 1 to 3 substituents, R.sub.3 denotes a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms or it may form a ring constituting alkylene together with R.sub.2, R.sub.5 denotes a lower alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl group with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, R.sub.6 denotes a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms or it may form a ring constituting alkylene together with R.sub.5, and m denotes 2 or 3), and their salts, which function as effective therapeutic drugs for the dysurias such as urinary incontinence and pollakiuria, and the preparative processes therefor are presented.
