Abstract
The invention provides pharmaceutical compounds of the formula: ##STR1## in which A-B is CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 or CH.dbd.CH; X is a pyridine or benzene ring; when X is pyridine n is 0; when X is benzene n is 0, 1 or 2 and when A-B is CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2, R.sup.1 is attached at any of the positions 7 to 10, and when A-B is CH.dbd.CH, R.sup.1 is attached at any of the positions 5 to 10; each R.sup.1 is halo, carboxy, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 alkylthio, hydroxy-C.sub.1-4 alkyl, hydroxy-C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl, nitro, trifluoromethoxy, --COOR.sup.5 where R.sup.5 is an alkyl group, --COR.sup.6, --CONR.sup.6 R.sup.7 or --NR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl; R.sup.2 is phenyl, naphthyl or heteroaryl selected from thienyl, pyridyl, benzothienyl, quinolinyl, benzofuranyl or benzimidazolyl, said phenyl, naphthyl and heteroaryl groups being optionally substituted, or R.sup.2 is furanyl optionally substituted with C.sub.1-4 alkyl; R.sup.3 is nitrile, carboxy, --COOR.sup.6 where R.sup.8 is an alkyl group, --CONR.sup.9 R.sup.10 where R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 are each hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl, or --SO.sub.2 R.sup.11 where R.sup.11 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted phenyl C.sub.1-4 alkyl; and R.sup.4 is 1-pyrrolyl, 1-imidazolyl or 1-pyrazolyl, said 1-pyrrolyl, 1-imidazolyl and 1-pyrazolyl being optionally substituted by one or two C.sub.1-4 alkyl, carboxyl, hydroxy-C.sub.1-4 alkyl or --CHO groups, or 1-(1,2,4-triazolyl), 1-(1,3,4-triazolyl) or 2-(1,2,3-triazolyl), said triazolyl groups being optionally substituted by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl or C.sub.1-4 perfluoroalkyl group, or 1-tetrazolyl optionally substituted by C.sub.1-4 alkyl; and salts thereof.
