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=CRa-, 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 the group consisting of carboxy, an acylsulphonamide residue of the formula CO.NH.SOnRg and a tetrazolyl residue of the formula II, and the radicals Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg, Rh, n, X, G1, Q and G2 have the meanings defined in the following specification. The compounds of formula I are leukotriene antagonists. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the formula I compounds; pharmaceutical compositions containing the formula I 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. |
