This invention provides tricyclic compounds as depicted in the general formula (III) below: <CHEM> wherein; A is phenyl or pyridyl wherein the nitrogen is at the 5-,6-,7- or 8-position; one of B or D is nitrogen and the other is carbon; Z is cyclohexenyl, phenyl, pyridyl, wherein the nitrogen is at the 1-,2-, or 3-position, or a 6 membered heterocyclic ring having one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of sulfur or oxygen at the 1-,2-,or 3-position, and nitrogen at the 1-,2-,3- or 4-position, which inhibit sPLA2 mediated release of fatty acids (e.g. arachidonic acid). Such compounds would be of value in general treatment of conditions induced and/or maintained by overproduction of sPLA2 such as septic shock. |
