FURO3,2-bPYRIDINES AND THIENO3,2-bPYRIDINES AS INHIBITORS OF LEUKOTRIENE BIOSYNTHESIS

摘要

Compounds having formula (I) are inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis. These compounds are useful as anti-asthmatic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective agents. They are also useful in treating angina, cerebral spasm, glomerular nephritis, hepatitis, endotoxemia, uveitis, and allograft rejection and in preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
