Abstract

Compounds of the structure ##STR1## where M is hydrogen, a pharmaceutically acceptable cation or metabolically cleavable group, R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, or NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl alkonyl, or carbocyclic aryl, Y is alkylene, alkenylene, or cyclopropyl, and A is optionally substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkylene are potent inhibitors of lipoxygenase enzymes and thus inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. These compounds are useful in the treatment or amelioration of allergic and inflammatory disease states.
