- 1. A method of treating a mammalian subject for Parkinson's disease or to provide a central muscle relaxant effect, which comprises the step of administering to said mammalian subject in need of said treatment, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the Formula (I) ##STR4## wherein m is 1, 2 or 3;
- R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently stand for hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4, straight or branched chain alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy, C.sub.5 to C.sub.7 cycloalkyl, or halogen; and
- B is a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic group containing a nitrogen heteroatom, said heterocyclic group being bound through its heterocyclic nitrogen atom to the remainder of the compound, and which is selected from the group which consists of N-piperidino, N-imidazolyl, N-(2-methyl)-imidazolyl, N-piperazino, N-(4-propionyl)-piperazino, N-(4-n-butyl)-piperazino, N-1,2,4-triazolyl), N-pyrrolidino, N-morpholino, and (2-ethoxycarbonyl)-N-piperidino; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- 2. The method of treating a mammalian subject for Parkinson's disease or to provide a central muscle relaxant effect defined in claim 1 where the compound of the Formula (I) is selected from the group consisting of:
- N-{[dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)silyl]methyl}piperidine;
- N-{[dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)silyl]methyl}pyrrolidine;
- N-[benzyl-dimethylsilyl)propyl]piperidine;
- N-{[dimethyl-(2,4-dimethylbenzyl)silyl]methyl}piperidine;
- N-{[(2-chloro-5-methylbenzyl)-dimethylsilyl]methyl}piperidine;
- N-{[dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)silyl]propyl}pyrrolidine; and
- N-{[dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)silyl]propyl}imidazole; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- 3. The method of treating a mammalian subject for Parkinson's disease or to provide a central muscle relaxant effect defined in claim 1 where the compound of the Formula (I) is N-{[dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)silyl]methyl}-piperidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
