Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof: wherein: R1 is C1-4alkyl, C1-3fluoroalkyl or —(CH2)2OH; R2 is a hydrogen atom (H), methyl or C1fluoroalkyl; R3a is a hydrogen atom (H) or C1-3alkyl; R3 is optionally substituted branched C3-6alkyl, optionally substituted C3-8cycloalkyl, optionally substituted mono-unsaturated-C5-7cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group of sub-formula (aa), (bb) or (cc): in which n1 and n2 independently are 1 or 2; and Y is O, S, SO2, or NR4; and wherein Het is of sub-formula (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v): The compounds are phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, in particular PDE4 inhibitors.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I): and salts, solvates, and physiologically functional derivatives thereof, useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of a clinical condition for which a selective ?2-adrenoreceptor agonist is indicated, for example asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract: The invention provides inhalation devices comprising a compound which is 4-{(1R)-2-[(6-{2-[(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)oxy]ethoxy}hexyl)amino]-1-hydroxyethyl}-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol; or a salt or solvate thereof, inhalation devices comprising formulations and combinations of the compound or a salt or solvate thereof, and methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of a clinical condition in a mammal by employing the inhalation devices

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof: wherein: R1 is Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, C2fluoroalkyl, or —CH2CH2OH; R2 is H, Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, C1-2fluoroalkyl, cyclopropyl or (cyclopropyl)methyl-; and NHR3 has the sub-formula (nhr3): wherein R3a is methyl or ethyl; R3b is H, methyl or ethyl; R3c is H, methyl or ethyl, R3d is H, methyl or ethyl, and R3e is H or methyl, provided that: (a) R3b is methyl or ethyl; and/or (b) R3c and R3d are independently methyl or ethyl; and provided that: (c) when R3c is ethyl and/or when R3d is ethyl and/or when R3e is methyl, then: R3a is methyl and/or R3b is hydrogen or methyl. These compounds are PDE4 inhibitors.
