Many factors participate in the onset or the exacerbation of allergic diseases. Above all, the chemical mediators which are released with allergic reactions play particularly significant role.

Drugs for inhibiting the biosynthesis or release of chemical mediators, drugs for degradating or antagonizing chemical mediators and the like have been studied and applied for clinical use as anti-allergic drugs.

There have been found many piperidine derivatives having anti-allergic action. As compounds whose structure is partly similar to that of the compound of the present invention, for example, there are those compounds described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 94962/1985, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 194068/1986, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 242574/1989, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 25465/1990 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 108689/1990. However there are no compounds having sulfonamide group in molecule among the compounds disclosed in the above-mentioned publications. Furthermore, as to the pharmacological action of those compounds, there are no description that those compounds may have the inhibitory activity of mediator release.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel compound having the inhibitory activity of mediator release, antihistaminic activity and the like, an anti-allergic agent comprising the same as an effective ingredient, a treatment agent for ischemic heart disease comprising the same as an effective ingredient and an intermediate compound for synthesizing the same.

This and the other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the description hereinafter.

That the piperidine derivative of the present invention has the excellent inhibitory activity of histamine release and antihistaminic activity and that the piperidine derivative of the present invention is therapeutically effective for ischemic heart disease such as stenocardia or myocardial infarction are illustrated with reference to following Test Examples.

TEST EXAMPLE 1

Inhibition of anaphylactic histamine release

Hartley male guinea pigs weighing about 450 g which were passively sensitized with an anti-DNP-egg albumin guinea pig serum were killed with a thiopentbarbital anesthetia. Their lungs were perfused by way of the pulmonary artery with a Tyrode's solution. The lungs were removed and fragmented. A definite weight of 100 mg lung fragments, which was distributed into individual tubes and suspended in 1 ml of Tyrode's solution, was challenged with the antigen (DNP-egg albumin, final concentration: 0.3 .mu.g/ml) at 37.degree. C. for 15 min. The test compounds obtained in Example, which were dissolved or suspended in Tyrode's solution, were added 10 min before antigen challenge. The reaction was stopped by immersing in ice cold water, and then centrifuged. The amount of histamine in the supernatant fluid was measured by using fluoremetric method according to Shore et al.

From the results described above, an inhibition ratio was calculated as follows and a 25%-inhibitory concentration was obtained: ##EQU1## A: amount of histamine released by the antigen stimulation in the presence of a compound of the present invention

B: amount of histamine released spontaneously C: amount of histamine released by the antigen stimulation.

The results are shown in Table 3.

TEST EXAMPLE 2

Antihistaminic activity

Hartley male guinea pigs weighing 500-600 g were used. Isolated tracheal smooth muscle chain strips were prepared by a usual method and suspended in 2 ml organ bath of Tyrode's solution aerated with 95% O.sub.2.5 % CO.sub.2 at 37.degree. C. Each strip was attached to an isotonic transducer (made by Nihon Koden Kogyo KK) with a load of 0.5 g. After almost constant contraction, histamine was added cumulatively, until maximum constriction was obtained. The constriction of tracheal strip was recorded by Servocorder (made by Giraphtec KK). The strip was washed with Tyrode's solution and allowed to stabilize. Test compound was to the bath 5 min prior to the addition of histamine and the response curve to the histamine was repeated. The pA.sub.2 values were calculated using the techniques of Van Rossum.

The results are shown in Table 3.

In Test Examples 1 and 2, comparative tests were carried out by using as reference drugs, Amlexanox having the inhibitory activity of histamine release and Oxatomide having the inhibitory activity of histamine release and antihistaminic activity and diphenhydramine hydrochloride having antihistaminic activity.

From the results described in Table 3, the compounds of the present invention were confirmed to have both excellent inhibitory activity of anaphylactic histamine release and antihistaminic activity.

TEST EXAMPLE 3

Hearts were isolated from Std; Wistar male rats weighing 200-300 g (9-10 weeks old). The hearts were perfused using Langendorff's apparatus at a flow rate of 8 ml/min. As a perfusate, Krebs-Henseleit-bicarbonate solution (37.degree. C., pH 7.4) containing 11 mM glucose, oxygenated with a mixed gas of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 was used. The heart was preloaded with an initial resting tension of 2.0 g and paced at 200-300 beats min.sup.-1. After the hearts were allowed to be stable for 30-60 minutes, 0.1 ml of a solution of each test compound in 10% DMSO was added thereto to be a concentration of 0.1, 1.0, 10 or 100 .mu.g of each compound per heart.

Myocardial contractile force was isometrically measured by means of a force-displacement transducer (Type: TB-612T, made by Nihon Kohden Kogyo KK) connected to the apex of the heart through a thread. Coronary perfusion pressure was monitored by an electric manometer (Type: MPU-0.5, made by Nihon Kohden Kogyo KK) connected to a side branch of the aortic cannule.

From these results, change rates were calculated according to the following expression. ##EQU2## A: value before adding a test compound B: value after adding a test compound
