Abstract: The invention relates to new ?-arylethylpiperazine of the formula wherein Z represents 0 or S; n? represents 1 or 2; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; W, Ar1 and Ar2 represent various substituents as defined herein; or non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt, individual optical isomer, or individual diastereoisomer thereof, which are useful as neurokinin receptor antagonists (NK1 antagonists). It also relates to processes for their preparation and use in methods for treatment of asthma and/or allergic rhinitis.

Abstract: The present invention provides 1,4 substituted piperazines, 1,4 substituted piperidines, and 1-substituted, 4-alkylidenyl piperidines compounds. The compounds of the invention are dual acting molecules having both leukotriene inhibition properties as well as antihistaminergic properties. The compounds of the invention are useful for treating conditions in which there is likely to be a histamine and/or leukotriene component. These conditions include preferably asthma, seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, conjunctivitis, food allergy, scombroid poisoning, psoriasis, urticaria, pruritus, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic obsructive pulmonary disease, thrombotic disease and otitis media. Also provided are methods of treating asthma and rhinitis by administering an effective asthma and rhinitis-relieving amount of the compounds to a subject in need thereof.
