For example, the intermediates of formula (III-b-2), wherein D is substituted by a 4-piperidinyl radical, said compounds being represented by the formula (III-b-2-a), can be prepared by reacting a reagent of formula (XX) with (III-a) followed by an appropriate reduction, and subsequently eliminating the protective group P as described hereinabove: ##STR36##
The intermediates of formula (IV) can conveniently be prepared by converting the amino group in the compounds of formula (III-b-1-a) into an isocyanato or isothiocyanato group following art-known procedures, for example, by reacting said amino group with CS.sub.2 in the presence of ethyl carbonochloridate and the like.
The intermediates of formula (X-a) can be converted into intermediates of formula (X-b) by a suitable conversion of the Y.sup.1 H group into a leaving group; the intermediates of formula (X-c) wherein Y is other than a direct bond, said Y being Y.sup.1, can also be prepared by alkylating (X-a) with an appropriate reagent; the intermediates of formula (X-c) can be converted into those of formula (X-d) by a suitable conversion of the Z.sup.1 H group into a leaving group.
The intermediates of formula (XII-a), wherein Y is other then a direct bond, can be prepared by alkylating an intermediate of formula (III-b-1) with an appropriate aromatic reagent; the intermediates of formula (XII-b) and (XII-c) can be prepared following art-known procedures as described in, for example, U.S. Pat.

During one of the reactions the intermediates wherein R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 and/or R.sup.8 and/or R.sup.15 and/or R.sup.16 is hydrogen may be converted into the corresponding intermediates wherein R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 and/or R.sup.8 and/or R.sup.15 and/or R.sup.16 is other than hydrogen following art-known N-alkylating, N-acylating or reductive N-alkylating procedures.
From formula (I) it is evident that the compounds of this invention may have several asymmetric carbon atoms in their structure. Each of these chiral centers may be present in a R- and a S-configuration, this R- and S-notation being in correspondence with the rules described by J. Org. Chem. 35 (9), 2849-2867 (1970).
Pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by the application of art-known procedures. Diastereoisomers may be separated by physical separation methods such as selective crystallization and chromatographic techniques, e.g., counter current distribution, and enantiomers may be separated from each other by the selective crystallization of their diastereomeric salts with optically active acids.
Pure stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials, provided that the reaction occurs stereospecifically.
It is evident that the cis and trans diastereomeric racemates may be further resolved into their optical isomers, cis(+), cis(-), trans(+) and trans(-) by the application of methodogies known to those skilled in the art.
Stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) are naturally intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention.
The compounds of formula (I) have histamine antagonistic properties and some of the compounds of formula (I) have also serotoninantagonistic properties.
The useful antihistaminic properties of the compounds of formula (I) are demonstrated in the following test procedure.
PROTECTION OF RATS FROM COMPOUND 48/80-INDUCED LETHALITY
Compound 48/80, a mixture of oligomers obtained by condensation of 4-methoxy-N-methylbenzeneethanamine and formaldehyde has been described as a potent histamine releasing agent (Int. Arch. Allergy, 13, 336 (1958)). The protection from compound 48/80-induced lethal circulatory collapse appears to be a simple way of evaluating quantitatively the antihistaminic activity of test compounds. Male rats of an inbred Wistar strain, weighing 240-260 g were used in the experiment. After overnight starvation the rats were transferred to conditioned laboratories (temp.=21.+-.1.degree. C., relative humidity=65.+-.5%). The rats were treated subcutaneously or orally with a test compound or with the solvent (NaCl solution, 0.9%). One hour after treatment there was injected intravenously compound 48/80, freshly dissolved in water, at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (0.2 ml/100 g of body weight). In control experiments, wherein 250 solvent-treated animals were injected with the standard dose of compound 48/80, not more than 2.8% of the animals survived after 4 hours. Survival after 4 hours is therefore considered to be a safe criterion of a protective effect of drug administration.
The ED.sub.50 -values of the compounds of formula (I) are listed in table 1. Said ED.sub.50 -values are the values in mg/kg body weight at which the tested compounds protect 50% of the tested animals against compound 48/80-induced lethality.
The compounds listed in table 1 are not given for the purpose of limiting the invention thereto but only to exemplify the useful pharmacological activities of all the compounds within the scope of the formula (I).

In view of their antihistaminic properties, the compounds of formula (I) and their acid-addition salts are very useful in the treatment of allergic diseases such as, for example, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivities, chronic urticaria, allergic astma and the like.
In view of their useful antihistaminic properties, the subject compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the particular compound, in base or acid-addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions: or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. Acid addition salts of (I) due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.
The present invention is also related with a method of treating allergic diseases in warm-blooded animals suffering from said allergic diseases by administering an effective anti-allergic amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
Suitable doses administered daily to subjects are varying from 0.1 to 100 mg, more preferably from 1 to 50 mg.
The following examples are intended to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise stated all parts therein are by weight.
