Abstract

Настоящее изобретение относится к новым производным бензопирана формулы (I), где А является атомом кислорода или серы или метиленовой группой; В и С являются: а) когда В является сконденсированным с бензолом гетероциклом (а), где U является атомом О, S или N, Z-Y являются двумя углеродными атомами, связанными двойной или простой связью, и Т является простой связью, метиленовой или карбонильной группой, С может быть -CONR-, -CSNR-, -SONR-, -CHO-, -СН=СН-группой; б) когда В является фенильной группой (б), С может быть -SONR-, -СНО-, -СН=СН-группой; D является 5-тетразолилом или -COORгруппой, где Rявляется водородом, (С-С)алкильной или фенилалкильной группой; и m и n являются целыми числами от 0 до 4. Указанные соединения проявляют лейкотриен-антагонистическую активность и являются полезными в качестве противовоспалительных и антиаллергических лекарственных средств, а также полезны при лечении сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний.Международная заявка была опубликована вместе с отчетом о международном поиске.
