Abstract

Compounds having 5- and 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity have the structure ##STR1## where A is straight or branched divalent alkylene of from one to four carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is methyl, amino, or alkylamino of from one to six carbon atoms and the substituent group R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl. The group R.sub.3 is one or more substituents selected from hydrogen, alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, thioalkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, halogen, cyano, and trihalomethyl, and R.sub.4 is one or more substituents selected from hydrogen, alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, thioalkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, hydroxy, halogen, cyano, and trihalomethyl, with the proviso that when R.sub.1 is amino and A is >CHCH.sub.3, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may not both be hydrogen. The group designated M is hydrogen, a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, or a metabolically cleavable group. Pharmaceutical compositions and a method of inhibiting 5- and 12-lipoxygenase activity are also disclosed.
