The invention relates to compounds of the formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R2a and R2b are independently selected from the group consisting essentially of hydrogen and hereinafter recited substituents, provided that one, but not both of R2a and R2b must be independently selected as hydrogen, wherein said substituents comprise: wherein the dashed lines in formulas (Ia) and (Ib) independently and optionally represent a single or double bond, provided that in formula (Ia) both dashed lines cannot both represent double bonds at the same time; and R, R1, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R18 and m are as defined. The invention further relates to intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of formula I, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing, and methods of using, the compounds of formula I, or acceptable salts thereof, for the inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type IV or the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in a mammal. |
