Benzamido piperidines

摘要

A group of heterocyclic compounds useful in the treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system is described. These compounds are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a methylenedioxyphenyl or an ethylenedioxyphenyl radical through the intermediary of a group selected from a mono-keto lower alkylene radical or a hydroxy-lower-alkylene radical or a bivalent radical of the formula <IMAGE> or -O-(lower alkylene). The piperidine rings are further substituted by a benzamido residue.
