The invention relates to compounds which constitute a class of medicaments which have an anti-inflammatory activity and which act by inhibiting leukotriene A(LTA), and enzyme which is responsible for the biosynthesis of leukotriene LTB, a major proinflammatory mediator. The invention also relates to therapeutic anti-inflammatory, applications of these compounds as well as for methods of preparing these compounds.

[object Object]

The invention concerns compounds inhibiting LTAhydrolase of formula (I). The invention also concerns their therapeutic, in particular anti-inflammatory, applications.
