Cannabinoid receptor modulators, their processes of preparation, and use of cannabinoid receptor modulators for treating respiratory and non-respiratory diseases

摘要

Use of a compound for treating a respiratory disease in a mammal wherein the compound is a cannabinoid receptor modulator is disclosed. Compounds useful as cannabinoid receptor modulators for treating respiratory and non-respiratory leukocyte-activation associated diseases comprise compounds of formula (I), ;in which A and B are nitrogen or carbon, provided only one of A and B is nitrogen; and R₁-R₆ are as defined in the specification, wherein R₂ with R₅ may form a ring, and/or two R₄ groups may form a six-membered aryl or heteroaryl ring, optionally having a substituent R₆ forming a ring with R₃.
