The invention relates to a compound of formula (I)
or a salt thereof: wherein: R
1
is C
1-4
alkyl, C
1-3
fluoroalkyl or —(CH
2
)
2
OH; R
2
is a hydrogen atom (H), methyl or C
1
fluoroalkyl; R
3a
is a hydrogen atom (H) or C
1-3
alkyl; R
3
is optionally substituted branched C
3-6
alkyl, optionally substituted C
3-8
cycloalkyl, optionally substituted mono-unsaturated-C
5-7
cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group of sub-formula (aa), (bb) or (cc): in which n
1
and n
2
independently are 1 or 2; and Y is O, S, SO
2
, or NR
4
; and wherein Het is of sub-formula (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v): The compounds are phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, in particular PDE4 inhibitors. Also provided is the use of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of an inflammatory and/or allergic disease in a mammal such as a human, for example chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or allergic rhinitis.
本发明涉及式(I)化合物或其盐:
其中:R1是C1-4烷基,C1-3氟代烷基或—(CH2)2OH;R2是氢原子(H),甲基或C1氟代烷基;R3a是氢原子(H)或C1-3烷基;R3是可选的取代的支链C3-6烷基,可选的取代的C3-8环烷基,可选的取代的单不饱和C5-7环烯基,可选的取代的苯基,或者是亚式(aa),(bb)或(cc)的可选取代的杂环基:
其中n1和n2独立地为1或2;Y是O,S,SO2或NR4;而Het是亚式(i),(ii),(iii),(iv)或(v):
这些化合物是磷酸二酯酶(PDE)抑制剂,特别是PDE4抑制剂。还提供了使用式(I)化合物或其药学上可接受的盐制造药物,用于治疗和/或预防哺乳动物(例如人类)的炎症和/或过敏性疾病,例如慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD),哮喘或过敏性鼻炎。
