Heterocyclic compounds

Fused phenol compounds of the formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each, independently, is H, halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano, (substituted) alkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, COOH, COOR.sup.6 (in which R.sup.6 is C1-6 alkyl), alkenyl or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, taken together, is --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--, when R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are ortho to each other; A is alkylene, alkenylene, oxyalkylene or ##STR2## (in which m is 1-6); B is a monocyclic hetero ring containing a nitrogen atom; G is --OR.sup.3A or --NR.sup.3B R.sup.3C (in which R.sup.3A, R.sup.3B and R.sup.3C each, independently, is H, alkyl, acyl, or alkoxyalkyl); R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each, independently, is H, alkyl, or R.sup.4, R.sup.5 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent C4-7 cycloalkyl; and n is 1-3; non-toxic salts thereof, non-toxic acid addition salts thereof, and hydrates thereof. The compounds of the formula (I) have inhibitory activities on TXA.sub.2 synthetase and on 5-lipoxygenase and/or a scavenging activity on active oxygen species, and are useful for the prevention and/or the treatment of thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, ischemic heart diseases or brain diseases, bronchial asthma, renal inflammation, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, trichophytosis, cardiac infarction, allergic diseases, etc.

Benzopyran derivatives which have an inhibitory effect on the Maillard reaction as well as an antioxidizing effect are described herein. These derivatives may be utilized in the treatment and/or prevention of diabetic complications such as, for example, coronary heart disease, peripheral circulatory insufficiency or failure, cerebrovascular hindrance, neurogenous diabetes, nephropathy, arteriosclerosis, arthrosclerosis, cataracts and retinopathy. Further, the derivatives may also be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases induced by aging and in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases caused by the formation of peroxidized fat.
