Aza(bi)cyclic side chain intermediates are known compounds or may be prepared according to the methods described in the aformentioned patent publications (SmithKline Beecham p.l.c.).
The compounds of the present invention are 5-HT4 receptor antagonists and it is thus believed may generally be used in the treatment or prophylaxis of gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disorders and CNS disorders.
They are of potential interest in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), in particular the diarrhoea aspects of IBS, i.e., these compounds block the ability of 5-HT to stimulate gut motility via activation of enteric neurones. In animal models of IBS, this can be conveniently measured as a reduction of the rate of defaecation. They are also of potential use in the treatment of urinary incontinence which is often associated with IBS.
They may also be of potential use in other gastrointestin~l disorders, such as those associated with upper gut motility, and as antiemetics. In particular, they are of potential use in the treatment of the nausea and gastric symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and dyspepsia. Antiemetic activity is determined in known animal models of cytotoxic-agent/radiation induced emesis.
Specific cardiac 5-HT4 receptor antagonists which prevent atrial fibrillation and other atrial arrhythmias associated with 5-HT, would also be expected to reduce occurrence of stroke (see A.J. ~ m~nn 1990, Naumyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch.
Pharmacol. 342, 619-622, for appropriate animal test method).
Anxiolytic activity is likely to be effected via the hippocampus (Dumuis et al 1988, Mol Pharrnacol., 34, 880-887). Activity can be demonstrated in standard animal models, the social interaction test and the X-maze test.

WO 94/08998 2 ~ ~ 6 9 ~ ~ PCI /EP93/02808 Migraine sufferers often undergo situations of anxiety and emotional stress that precede the appearance of headache (Sachs, lg8S, ~igrair.e, Par, Bcokc1, London). It has also been observed that during an~ in 48 hOUlS of a înigraine attack, cyclic ~MP levels are considerably increased in the cerebrospinal fluid (Welch S et al., 1976, Headache 16, 160-167). It is believed that a migraine, including the prodomal phase and the associated increased levels of cyclic AMP are related to stimulation of 5-HT4 receptors, and hence that adminictration of a 5-HT4 antagonist is of potential benefit in relieving a migraine attack.
Other CNS disorders of interest include schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and Huntingdon's chorea.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Such compositions are prepared by admixture and are usually adapted for enteral such as oral, nasal or rectal, or parenteral a~lminictration, and as such may be in the form of tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, reconstitutable powders, nasal sprays, suppositories, injectable and infusable solutions or suspensions. Orally ~dminictrable compositions are preferred, since they are more convenient for general use.
Tablets and capsules for oral ~minictration are usually presented in a unit dose, and contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, fillers, ~iluent.c, tabletting agents, lubricants, disintegrants, colourants, flavourings, and wetting agents.

WO 94/08998 21~ 6 9 2 ~ PCI/EP93/02808 g 1) Guinea pi~ colon Male guinea-pigs, weighing 250-400g are used. Longltl~(lin~l muscle-myenteric plexus preparations, approximately 3cm long, are obtained from the distal 5 colon region. These are suspended under a 0.5g load in isolated tissue baths cont~ining Krebs solution bubbled with 5% CO2 in 2 and maintained at 37C. In all experiments~ the Krebs solution also contains methiothepin 10-7M and granisetron10-6M to block effects at S-HTl, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors.
After construction of a simple concentration-response curve with 5-HT, using 30s contact times and a 15min dosing cycle, a concentration of 5-HT is selected so as to obtain a contraction of the muscle approximately 40-70% maximum(10~9M
approx). The tissue is then alternately dosed every 15min with this concentration of 5-HT and then with an approximately equi-effective concentration of the nicotinereceptor stimulant, dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP). After obtaining consistent responses to both 5-HT and DMPP, increasing concentrations of a putative 5-HT4 receptor antagonist are then added to the bathing solution. The effects of this compound are then determined as a percentage reduction of the contractions evoked by 5-HT or by DMPP. From this data, pICso values are determined, being defined as the -log concentration of antagonist which reduces the contraction by 50%. A
compound which reduces the response to 5-HT but not to DMPP is believed to act as a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist.
The compounds of the Examples 1 and 3 had a pIC50 value of >8, E1 being preferred.

2) Rat oesophagus Rat oesophageal tunica muscularis mucosae is set up according to Baxter et.
al. Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol., 343, 439-446 (1991). The inner smooth muscle tube of the muscularis mucosae is isolated and mounted for isometric tension recording in oxygenated (95% 02/5% CO2) Tyrodes solution at 37C. All experiments are performed in pargyline pre-treated preparations (10011M for 15 min followed by washout) and in the presence of cocaine (30~1M). Relaxant responses to 5-HT are obtained after pre-contracting the oesophagus tissue with carbachol (3~
