摘要

A method of inhibiting the production of 5-lipoxygenase products in an animal in need thereof which comprises administering an effective, 5-lipoxygenase pathway inhibiting amount of a 2(3)-(pyridyl)-3-(2)-substituted phenyl)-6,7-dihydro-[5H]-pyrrolo-[1,2-a]imidazole, a 2(3)-(pyridyl)-3(2)-(substituted phenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2,-a]pyridine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to such animal.
