Abstract

The present invention relates to new chemical products which are useful as hypolipemizing and hypocholesterolemizing agents. The new compounds are derivatives of phenoxy isobutyric acid of the general formula ##EQU1## wherein: A is a lower-alkylene bridge of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, either linear or branched, X is a halogen atom, R = h or lower-alkyl, The N of the pyridyl ring can be replaced by an N-oxide, or the compounds can be in the form of their pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these active principles are useful for hypolipemizing and hypocholesterolemizing purposes, e.g., in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and its consequences.
