Abstract: The present invention relates to novel triazolo-pyridines of the formula I wherein Het is an optionally substituted 5-membered heterocycle containing one to two heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen wherein at least one of said heteroatoms atoms must be nitrogen; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C1-C6)alkyl or other suitable substituents; R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C1-C6)alkyl or other suitable substituents; s is an integer from 0-5; to intermediates for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their medicinal use. The compounds of the present invention are potent inhibitors of MAP kinases, preferably p38 kinase. They are useful in the treatment of inflammation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, repurfusion or ischemia in stroke or heart attack, autoimmune diseases and other disorders.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel benzopyran and other benzo-fused leukotriene B.sub.4 (LTB.sub.4) antagonists and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and to methods of using such compounds as LTB.sub.4 antagonists. The compounds and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this invention inhibit the action of LTB.sub.4 and are therefore useful in the treatment of LTB.sub.4 induced illnesses such as inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis and other skin disorders such as eczema, erythema, pruritus and acne, stroke and other forms of reperfusion injury, graft rejection, autoimmune diseases, asthma, and other conditions where marked neutrophil infiltration occurs.
