The present invention relates to compounds of formula I <IMAGE> I in which formula I X stands for O, S, <IMAGE> R1 and R2 which can be the same or different stand for hydrogen, straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or substituted C1-C8-alkyl, or for ar-C1-C4-alkyl, aryl and ar being unsubstituted or substituted phenyl; R3, R4, R5, and R6 are the same or different and stand for hydrogen, halogen, pseudo halogen, cyano, nitro, amino, carboxy, hydroxy, alkyl, alkoxy; or R5 and R6 form an aromatic ring which is fused to the pyridyl ring, and which aromatic ring may substituted; provided that R1 and R2 cannot be hydrogen at the same time, and provided that when R5 and R6 both are chlorine and R1 is hydrogen, then R2 cannot be n-propyl; and salts and bioreversible derivatives thereof. The compounds of formula I are useful in the human and veterinary therapy, as they exert specific 5-lipoxygenase inhibition. |
