Use of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines and 5,6-dihydropyrindines as leukotriene and lipoxygenase inhibitors and the novel 3-substituted compounds therein

摘要

The present invention also provides novel compositions of matter. In particular, the present invention provides novel 3-substituted compounds of formula I which are from among the selected 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines and 5,6-dihydropyrindines having use as inhibitors of the synthesis of leukotrienes and as inhibitors of the action of lipoxygenase in mammalian metabolism.
