ABSTRACT:

This invention relates to a class of azabicyclic compounds which are useful as tachykinin antagonists. More particularly, the compounds of the invention are substituted benzylether derivatives of 1-phenyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, which are useful as neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists.
The present invention provides compounds of the formula (I):
