(EN) Novel 3-cyano-3-(3,4-disubstituted)phenylcyclohexyl-1-carboxylates or derivatives thereof and their corresponding cyclohexenyl analogs are described herein. Theses compounds inhibit the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor and are useful in the treatment of disease states mediated or exacerbated by TNF production. These compounds are also useful mediating or inhibiting the enzymatic or catalytic activity of phosphodiesterase IV and are therefore useful in treating diseases in need of mediation or inhibition thereof.(FR) L'invention concerne des 3-cyano-(3,4-disubstitués) phénylcyclohexyl-1-carboxylates ou leurs dérivés et leurs analogues correspondants de cyclohexényle. Ces composés inhibent la production du facteur de nécrose tumorale et sont efficaces dans le traitement de maladies provoquées ou amplifiées par la production dudit facteur de nécrose tumorale. Ils sont également efficaces pour déclencher ou inhiber l'activité enzymatique ou catalytique de la phosphodiestèrase IV et présentent, de ce fait, une efficacité dans le traitement de maladies nécessitant le déclenchement ou l'inhibition de ladite activité.
