Abstract
Benzofuro[3,2-c]quinoline compounds of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein (1) each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is the same, and represent a group of the formula of --OR.sup.3 in which R.sup.3 represents a carbamoyl group, an N-mono-alkylcarbamoyl group, an N,N-dialkylcarbamoyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, a formyl group or an aliphatic acyl group which may have an alkoxycarbonyl group as a substituent; m represents zero, 1 or 2; n represents zero or 1; with the proviso that n is not zero when m is zero, PA0 (2) each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is different, and represent a hydroxy group or an N,N-di-alkylcarbamoyloxy group; m represents 1 or 2; n represents 1, possess a strong inhibitory action on bone resorption and a stimulatory effect on ossification. Some benzofuro[3,2-c]quinoline compounds of the above general formula also possess a stimulatory effect on longitudinal bone growth, and thus are useful for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.
