The compounds exhibit this biological activity by acting as PAF receptor antagonists, by inhibiting the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, or by exhibiting dual activity, i. e., by acting as both a PAF receptor antagonist and inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase.A method to treat disorders mediated by PAF and/or leukotrienes is also disclosed, that includes administering an effective amount of one or more of the above-identified compounds or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Cytomed, Inc.Inventors: Tesfaye Biftu, Ralph Scannell, Xiong Cai, Sajjat Hussoin
