A method of treating a patient suffering smooth muscle spasm comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR14## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR15## wherein W is CH 2 , NH, O or S, ##STR16## wherein Y is an alicyclic ring ring having 3-12 carbon atoms, and ##STR17## the total number of carbon atoms in R is equal to or less than 20, and wherein a is zero or 1 m is an integer from 1 to 4; n is an integer from 1 to 4; p is an integer from 1 to 4; and provided that when a is 1, X is selected from the group consisting of O, S, NH and CH 2 and n and p are integers from 1 to 4; and when a is O then X is nonexistent and n and p are integers from 1 to 4 and the terminal group in both the n-chain and the p-chain is a methyl; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
