Abstract

This invention relates to 2-(substituted)-N-hydroxy-N-alkylcinnamamides of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; PA0 n is 0 or 1; PA0 R.sup.2 is trifuloromethyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl, phen(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylene or ##STR2## where m is 0, 1 or 2 and R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; X is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, phen(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylene where the phenyl ring is unsubstituted or monosubstituted with --S(O).sub.m --R.sup.3 and m and R.sup.3 are as defined above, or ##STR3## where m is 0, 1 or 2 and R.sup.4 is C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 alkenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 alkynyl, or unsubstituted or monosubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl where the substituent is CF.sub.3, C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl, or phenyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; formulations containing those compounds and methods of using such compounds as 5-lipoxygenase inhibiting agents.
