GB8524157D0 — Heterocyclic amides

USPTO Abstract

The invention provides a series of novel heterocyclic amides of the formula I in which the group A∵CRa can be -CRb=CRa-, -CHRb-CHRa- or -N=<sub>CR</sub>a-, the amidic group Re.L can be Re.X.CO.NH, Re.X.CS.NH or Re.NH.CO attached at position 4, 5 or 6 of the benzenoid moiety, Z is an acid group selected from carboxy, an acylsulphonamide residue of the formula CO.NH.SO<sub>n</sub>Rg and a tetrazolyl residue of the formula II, and the radicals Ra, Rb. Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg, Rh, n, X, G', O and G<sup>2</sup> have the meanings defined in the following specification.The compounds of formula 1 are leukotriene antagonists. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the formula I compounds; pharmaceutical compositions containing the formula 1 compounds, or their salts, for use in the treatment of, for example, allergic or inflammatory diseases, or endotoxic or traumatic shock conditions; and processes for the manufacture of the formula I compounds, as well as intermediates for use in such manufacture.
