Abstract
The present invention relates to certain novel heterocyclic amides which are 1-pyridylacetamide compounds of formula I, set out herein, which are inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (HLE), also known as human neutrophil elastase (HNE), making them useful whenever such inhibition is desired, such as for research tools in pharmacological, diagnostic and related studies and in the treatment of diseases in mammals in which HLE is implicated. The invention also includes intermediates useful in the synthesis of these heterocyclic amides, processes for preparing the heterocyclic amides, pharmaceutical compositions containing such heterocyclic amides and methods for their use.
