  • Patent number: 4649215
    Abstract: Novel asymmetric thioethers of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.1-3 -alkyl radical or a C.sub.1-3 -hydroxyalkyl radical of which the hydroxy group may be in esterified form,R.sup.2 represents an optionally unsaturated aliphatic radical having from 5 to 15 carbon atoms,R.sup.3 represents hydroxy, alkoxy or an optionally substituted amino group, and-X- represents a single bond, a methylene group or an optionally N-acylated primary aminomethylene groupwherein the O-atom of the hydroxy group is in the transconfiguration relative to the S-atom, are effective as leucotriene-antagonists since they eliminate the contractions of smooth muscles caused by leucotrienes and are therefore suitable for the treatment of allergic, especially asthmatic, conditions.
