Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds of formula ##STR1## the N-oxides, the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein A and B taken together form a bivalent radical of formula:--N.dbd.CH-- (a), --CH.dbd.N-- (b), --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- (c), --CH.dbd.CH-- (d), --C(.dbd.O)--CH.sub.2 -- (e), --CH.sub.2 --C(.dbd.O)-- (f); R.sup.1 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, or halo; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or halo; R.sup.3 is hydrogen; C.sub.1-8 alkyl; C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl or C.sub.1-8 alkyl substituted with hydroxy, oxo, C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl or aryl. Het is five- or six-membered optionally substituted heterocyclic ring. The use as a medicine, especially as a lipid lowering agent is disclosed as well as pharmaceutical compositions and processes for preparing compounds and compositions.
