The present invention relates to novel benzopyran derivatives of formula (I) which have exellent effectiveness in the treatment of asthma as well as hypertension. ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 is --CN, --NO.sub.2, --OCX.sub.1 X.sub.2 X.sub.3, --NH.sub.2, --NHSO.sub.2 R.sup.A, ##STR2## --SO.sub.2 R.sup.C or --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.C R.sup.D wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 are, each independently, F, Cl or H, except for that X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 may not be hydrogen atom simulaneously; R.sup.A and R.sup.B are, each independently, a hydrogen atom, or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group with a halogen atom, or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group; and R.sup.C and R.sup.D are, each independently, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group with a halogen atom, or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group;

Certain pyridyl-benzopyran derivatives

The present invention relates to novel benzopyran derivatives of formula(I) which have exellent effectiveness in the treatment of asthma as well as hypertension. ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is --CN, --NO.sub.2, --OCX.sub.1 X.sub.2 X.sub.3, --NH.sub.2, --NHSO.sub.2 R.sup.A, ##STR2## --SO.sub.2 R.sup.C or --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.C R.sup.D wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 are, each independently, F, Cl or H, except for that X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 may not be hydrogen atom simulaneously; R.sup.A and R.sup.B are, each independently, a hydrogen atom, or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group with a halogen atom, or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group; and R.sup.C and R.sup.D are, each independently, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group with a halogen atom, or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group;

Spiro-benzopyran derivatives and useful for treating asthma and

The present invention relates to novel benzopyran derivatives of formula (I) which have superior selectivity in the treatment of hypertension by lowering blood pressure with a relaxation activity on vascular smooth muscle. The present invention also relates to processes for preparing such compounds; and to a pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as an active ingredient. ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 is --CN, --NO.sub.2, --OCX.sub.1 X.sub.2 X.sub.3, --NH.sub.2, --NHSO.sub.2 R.sup.A, ##STR2## --SO.sub.2 R.sup.C or --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.C R.sup.D wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 are, each independently, a fluorine, chlorine or hydrogen atom; R.sup.A and R.sup.B are, each independently, an amino, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group; and R.sup.C and R.sup.D are a hydrogen atom, or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group with a halogen atom, or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group;
