Abstract: Compounds having the formula: ##STR1## wherein W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 are independently selected from optionally substituted quinolyl, optionally substituted benzothiazolyl, optionally substituted benzoxazolyl, optionally substituted benzimidazolyl, optionally substituted quinoxalyl, optionally substituted naphthyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, halolalkyl, alkoxy, halogen; R.sup.3 is selected from thienyl, furyl, phenyl, naphthyl, benzo?b!thienyl, alkyl, hydroxyl, and hydrogen; Y an alkylene of one to six carbon atoms; and M is selected from (a) a pharmaceutically acceptable metabolically cleavable group, (b) --OR.sup.4, (c) --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6, (d)--NR.sup.4 SO.sub.2 R.sup.7 (e)--NH--Tetrazolyl, and (f) glycinyl; inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis and are useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory disease states. Also disclosed are leukotriene biosynthesis inhibiting compositions and a method of inhibiting leukotriene biosynthesis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a class of substituted indole and indene iminoxy derivatives of the formula ##STR1## which inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis and are useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory disease states.

Abstract: Compounds having the structure ##STR1## where m is an integer of from one to nine; n is an integer of from one to four; W is selected from substituted or unsubstituted quinolyl, benzothiazolyl, or quinoxalyl, X is selected from C.sub.1-6 alkylene, C.sub.2-6 alkenylene and C.sub.2-6 alkynylene; Y is selected from halogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and C.sub.1-6, alkoxy; and Z is selected from --C(O)B; --C(R.sub.2).sup.2 --O--N.dbd.A--C(O)B; and --C(R.sup.2).dbd.N--O--A--C(O)B where A is C.sub.1-6 alkylene and B is --OH, --O--M.sup.+, --OD where D is a metabolically cleavable group, --OR.sup.6 where R.sup.6 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 alkyl, --NR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.7 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, hydroxy or C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, or where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 taken together form a five to eight membered ring optionally containing one heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, are inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein W and Y are independently selected from optionally substituted quinolyl, optionally substituted benzothiazolyl, optionally substituted benzoxazolyl, optionally substituted benzimidazolyl, optionally substituted quinoxalyl, and optionally substituted naphthyl with the proviso that W and Y are not simultaneously the same substituent; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, or halogen; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or alkyl; X is absent or is alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene; and M is selected from (a) a pharmaceutically acceptable metabolically cleavable group, (b) --OR.sup.4 wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen or alkyl; and (c) --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy and alkoxy are disclosed. These compounds inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis and are useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory disease states.

Abstract: Selective and potent cholinergic ligands selective for neuronal nicotinic cholinergic channel receptors, which ligands have the formula: ##STR1## as well as pharmaceutically-acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, which are useful in the treatment of dementias, attentional hyperactivity disorder, or substance abuse withdrawal characterized by decreased cholinergic function, one of which is also an analgesic agent, and one of which is an agent useful for treating anxiety associated with cognitive impairment.
