Composition for suppressing infiltration of eosinophils

Abstract

An agent for suppressing infiltration of eosinophils comprising as an effective ingredient a tricyclic triazolo derivative, which strongly suppresses infiltration of eosinophils into inflammatory regions, of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.5 cycloalkyl or substituted or non-substituted aryl; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently represent hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen; W represents C.dbd.O or CR.sup.4 R.sup.5 wherein R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently represent hydrogen or lower alkyl; A represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 straight or branched saturated or unsaturated alkylene with the proviso that it may contain one or more hetero atoms; 1 represents 0 to 2, n represents 1 to 3, -- represents single bond or double bond; Y represents N or C; Z represents C(B)Ar.sup.1 Ar.sup.2 wherein B represents hydrogen, hydroxy or methoxy, Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 independently represent hydrogen or substituted or non-substituted aryl, CAr.sup.1 Ar.sup.2 wherein Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 represent the same meanings as mentioned above, O--CHAr.sup.1 Ar.sup.2 wherein Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 represent the same meanings as mentioned above or a condensed aromatic ring or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
