Benzamide Derivative 1 is a benzamide derivative from patent EP0213775A1, compound 18. Benzamide Derivative 1 may be useful in treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

Substituted benzamides have been shown to possess a number of pharmacological properties most of which are related to their ability to antagonize the central and peripheral effects of dopamine and/or facilitate the release of acetylcholine on to muscarinic receptors in the gastrointestinal smooth muscle. This has led to their successful clinical use as antiemetic and in the treatment of a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders of somatic, psychosomatic and iatrogenic origin[1].
