NOVEL HETEROCYCLES AS INHIBITORS OF LEUCOCYTE ADHESION AND AS VLA-4 ANTAGONISTS

摘要

The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I (see formula I) which are inhibitors of the adhesion and migration of leucocytes and/or antagonists of the adhesion receptor VLA-4 which belongs to the group of integrins. The invention also relates to processes for their preparation, to the use of compounds of the formula I for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases which are caused by an undesired extent of leucocyte adhesion and/or leucocyte migration or which are associated therewith or in which cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions which are based on interactions of VLA-4 receptors with their ligands play a part, for example of inflammatory processes, of rheumatoid arthritis or of allergic disorders, and also to the use of compounds of the formula I for the production of pharmaceuticals for use in such diseases, and to pharmaceutical preparations which contain the compounds of the formula I.
