6-and/or 7-substituted -1,2,3,4,4A,9B-hexahydro-8-hydroxydibenzofuran-3-ols as inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis.

摘要

Positions 7-and/or 6-substituted 1,2,3,4,4a,9b-Hexahydro-8-hydroxydibenzofuran-3-ols and analogs of that general structure are described. These compounds are found to be potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme crucial to the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and useful in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory conditions.
