Benzofuran carboxides and sulphonamides have therapeutic utility, e.g. in the treatment of inflammation and asthma, by virtue of their ability to inhibit phosphodiesterases and tumor necrosis factor.
Compounds having the formula (i), ##STR1## wherein the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are defined herein. The compounds of the present invention can be utilized to treat disease states capable of being modulated by inhibition of proteins which mediate cellular activity, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and/or phosphodiesterase IV (PDE IV).
