The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions, a method of treatment, and to intermediates useful in the synthesis of said compounds of the formula (I).

No. 4,661,596, describe compounds which are disubstituted naphthalenes, dihydronaphthalenes or tetralins having the formula ##STR1## wherein the dotted lines represent optional double bonds, R.sup.a is 2-pyridyl, 2-quinolyl, 2-pyrazinyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 2-thiazolyl, 2-benzothiazolyl, 2-oxazolyl, 2-benzoxazolyl, 1-alkyl-2-imidazolyl or 1-alkyl-2-benzimidazolyl and R.sup.b is hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl or perfluoro alkyl. Like the compounds of the present invention, these compounds inhibit lipoxygenase enzyme and antagonize the effects of leukotriene D4, and so are useful in the prevention and treatment of asthma.

Because of their ease of preparation and valuable biological activity, in the preferred compounds of the formula (I), regardless of the value of Y and Y.sup.1, n is 1, m is 0, X and X.sup.1 are each independently CH.sub.2 or O, Z is CH.sub.2, Z.sup.1 is CH, R is 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl, 2-quinolyl, 6-fluoro-2-quinolyl, 5-fluoro-2-benzothiazolyl or 2-pyrazinyl, and R.sup.1 is phenyl, 3-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 3-methoxycarbonylphenyl, 4-methoxy-carbonylphenyl, 3-carboxyphenyl, 4-carboxyphenyl, 2-pyridyl or 3-pyridyl.

Said pharmaceutically-acceptable cationic salts include, but are not limited to, those of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonia, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine (meglumnine), ethanolamine and diethanolamine.
The reference to Y.sup.1 as an acyloxy group which is hydrolyzed to a hydroxy group under physiological conditions refers to esters of a type which are frequently referred to as "pro-drugs."

Such esters are generally used to enhance oral absorption, but in any event are readily hydrolyzed in vivo to the parent hydroxy compound. The more preferred acyloxy groups are those in which the acyl moiety is the alpha-aminoacyl residue of a naturally occurring L-alpha-amino acid, ##STR4##

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is readily carried out. Without regard to geometrical (cis-trans) or optical isomers, the compounds of the formula (I) wherein Y+Y.sup.1 =carbonyl, or Y=H and Y.sup.1 OH, and X.sup.1 =CH.sub.2, S or O are prepared according to the chemical transformations which are summarized in Flowsheets 1, 2 and 3, where the symbols n, m, X, Z, Z.sup.1, R and R.sup.1 are as defined above. The various transformations found in these flowsheets, as well as transformations required for the preparation of the compounds (I) having other values of Y, Y.sup.1 and X.sup.1, and methods for separation of cis-trans and optical isomers, are detailed below.
The condensation of Flowsheet 1 is typically carried out with the phenolic group in protected form as shown, methyl being a preferred protecting group only when X.sup.1 is CH.sub.2. The preferred conditions employ a molar excess of the required aldehyde and a molar excess of a secondary amine such as pyrrolidine or piperidine as base. (It is understood that such a base facilitates the condensation by forming an enamine intermediate.) ##STR7## The reaction is generally carried out in a reaction-inert solvent, lower alcohols such as methanol being particularly well suited for this purpose. The temperature conditions for this transformation are not critical, e.g., 0-70.degree. C. is generally satisfactory, with ambient temperature particularly well suited as a matter of convenience.
As used here and elsewhere herein, the expression "reaction-inert solvent" refers to a solvent which does not interact with starting materials, reagents, intermediates or products in a manner which adversely affects the yield of the desired product.
The C-alkylation of Flowsheet 1 is carried out by first converting the ketone (A) to its lithium salt, usually in situ, by the action of substantially one molar equivalent of a strong, sterically hindered base such as lithium diisopropylamide, usually carried out at low temperature (e.g., about -40 to -80.degree. C. conveniently at the temperature of a dry ice-acetone bath). The salt in turn is reacted with the alkylating agent, preferably the highly reactive iodide, usually in molar excess in the presence of a molar excess of hexamethyl phosphoramide, now at higher temperature (e.g., about 0 to 40.degree. C.). Conveniently, the latter reagents are added to the cold lithium salt solution, and the temperature allowed to rise to ambient temperature as the reaction proceeds. The salt preparation and alkylation reaction are usually carried out in the same reaction-inert solvent (e.g., tetrahydrofuran). It will be evident to those skilled in the art that any free hydroxy or carboxy groups in the alkylating reagent should be in protected form (vide supra).
The catalytic hydrogenation transformations (debenzylations, H.sub.2 -additions to double bond) of Flowsheets 1, 2 and 3 are carried out under conventional conditions, generally in a reaction-inert solvent, and preferably using a noble metal catalyst and moderate conditions of temperature (e.g., about 0 to 70.degree. C.) and hydrogen pressure (e.g., about 1 to 10 atmospheres). While higher pressures may be desirable in selected instances, such moderate pressures permit the use of much less elaborate and expensive equipment. Suitable noble metal catalysts include platinum, palladium, rhenium, rhodium and ruthenium, either of the supported or non-supported type, as well as the known catalytic compounds thereof such as the oxides, chlorides, etc. Examples of suitable catalyst supports include carbon, silica and barium sulfate. The catalysts may be preformed or formed in situ by prereduction of an appropriate salt of the catalytic compound. Examples of preferred catalysts are 5% palladium-on-carbon, 5% platinum-on-carbon; 5% rhodium-on-carbon, platinum chloride, palladium chloride, platinum oxide and ruthenium oxide. Most preferred in the present instance is palladium-on-carbon. Solvents generally suitable for the present hydrogenation include lower alkanols, ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran.
The methyl ethers [compounds of the formula (C)] in Flowsheet 1 are deblocked to form the corresponding phenol derivative, again, by conventional methods; for example, using concentrated HBr, or BBr.sub.3, both of which are exemplified below.
The phenolic alkylations found in Flowsheets 2 and 3 and the bromine replacement reaction of Flowsheet 2 each represent conventional nucleophilic displacement reactions. These displacements are generally carried out in the presence of a base of sufficient strength to convert the displacing phenol, alcohol or thiol to its salt, and in a quantity at least sufficient to neutralize the by-product acid (HX.sup.2, HBr). In those substrates which contain an aliphatic alcohol group [e.g., a compound (IV) wherein Y.sup.2 is H and Y.sup.3 is OH], bases of sufficient strength to convert that group to the anion will generally be used in an amount no more than sufficient to convert the more acidic phenol to the salt. When either of the reactants contains a group of acidity similar to or greater than that of the nucleophilic displacing compound, such potentially interfering groups are best introduced in protected form (e.g., a heteroaromatic phenolic group as methoxy or benzyloxy, a carboxy group as methyl or benzyl ester, removable by hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis according to methods detailed elsewhere herein). The present nucleophilic displacements are carried out in a reaction-inert solvent, preferably one which is much less acidic than the displacing phenol, alcohol or mercaptan. Most preferred are polar, aprotic solvents such as dimethyl-formamide or acetone, usually with a molar excess of the more readily available of the two reactants. Temperature is not critical, e.g., about 10-70.degree. C. is usually satisfactory with ambient temperature most convenient. In one preferred variant, the phenol, alcohol or mercaptan is irreversibly converted to the anion with a base such as sodium hydride. Other preferred variants employ K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 as base in the presence of NaI, or Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3 as base in the presence of CsI.
In the special case of X=NH, such nucleophilic displacements will generally be carried out with the NH group protected, e.g., as the N-benzyl derivative (subsequently removed by hydrogenation) or as an N-alkanoyl or N-sulfonyl derivative (subsequently removed under appropriate hydrolysis conditions; for example, the N-tosyl derivative is hydrolyzed by heating in a mixture of acetic acid and concentrated HCl).
The formylation of Flowsheet 2 represents a conventional condensation type reaction of a ketone with an alkyl formate. This reaction is generally in an aprotic reaction-inert solvent such as toluene in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydride at moderate temperatures (e.g., 0-70.degree. C., conveniently at ambient temperature). The subsequent conversion to the diazo compound is conveniently accomplished with tosyl azide as the reagent, a reaction generally carried out at low temperature (e.g., about -10 to -60.degree. C.) in the presence of molar excess of a tertiary amine (e.g., triethylamine) in a reaction-inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. In turn, the diazo compound is reacted with an appropriate alcohol or mercaptan in the presence of a catalytic amount of rhodium (II) diacetate dimer to form the desired ether or thioether. The latter transformation is generally carried out in an anhydrous reaction-inert solvent such as toluene at somewhat elevated temperature, e.g., about 50-100.degree. C. Substituent alcohol or carboxy groups which are not intended to react are preferably protected in this transformation, as in the case of the nucleophilic displacement reactions discussed above.
The "reduction" reactions of Flowsheet 3 require the reduction of a ketone to a secondary alcohol, for which a number of selective reagents are available. Where no other LiAlH.sub.4 reducible groups (such as carboxy, methoxycarbonyl) are present, that reagent is well suited for this purpose. On the other hand, NaBH.sub.4 is preferred as the reducing agent when such reducible groups are present. In either case, these hydride reductions are generally carried out in a reaction-inert solvent (such as tetrahydrofuran in the case of LiAlH.sub.4, methanol or a combination of methanol and tetrahydrofuran in the case of NaBH.sub.4). In either case, temperature is not critical, about 0 to 50.degree. C. being generally satisfactory and ambient temperature preferred. The present reduction step offers the potential of producing a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers [as illustrated in the formulas (II) and (III)] and in the present hydride reduction, that is the result which is generally observed. If one or the other of these isomers is particularly desired, one can usually find a reduction method and set of conditions which will favor the desired isomer. For example, NaBH.sub.4 reduction in the presence of cesium chloride will generally strongly favor the cis-isomer. Catalytic hydrogenation is also a generally useful reduction method, generally carried out under conditions which are somewhat more vigorous than those described above (e.g., more prolonged time, higher catalyst level, higher temperature and/or higher pressure). Hydrogenation is preferably carried out on substrates such as ##STR8## which contain no other readily hydrogenated group. Pd/C catalyst tends to particularly favor formation of cis-isomer. However, by variation of the catalyst and conditions, it will be possible to codify or even reverse that tendency. Where both cis- and trans-isomers form in the present reduction, they are generally separable by standard chemical methods (e.g., selective or fractional crystallization, chromatography, and so forth).
If compounds wherein X.sup.1 is SO or SO.sub.2 are desired, they are usually prepared from the corresponding compounds of the formula (I) or (IV) wherein the group X.sup.1 as S is already in place. Peroxides are generally used as oxidizing agent. A particularly convenient reagent for this purpose is m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The sulfide is reacted with substantially 1 molar equivalent of this reagent to obtain the sulfoxide and with at least 2 molar equivalents to obtain the sulfone, in a reaction-inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. Temperature is not critical, e.g., 0-60.degree. C. being generally satisfactory and ambient temperature preferred. However, when X is S, and compounds wherein X.sup.1 is SO or SO.sub.2 are desired, these are preferably formed by conventional sulfinylation or sulfonylation of an unsubstituted ketone compound of the formula (A), (D) or (E).
Those ketone compounds of the formula (I) wherein Y and Y.sup.1 form a carbonyl group, and of the formula (IV) in the first alternative, contain an asymmetric carbon at the alpha-position which is adjacent to the carbonyl group, and therefore are racemic compounds capable of resolution into optically active enantiomers, e.g., by conversion of the racemate into diastereomeric salts with an optically active acid, which are generally separable by a fractional crystallization process. Alternatively, if the substrate contains a carboxy group, separable diastereomeric salts are formed with an optically active organic amine. Optical activity can also be induced by use of an optically active reagent in the step by which the asymmetric carbon is formed, e.g., use of an optically active Wilkinson type catalyst, or a noble metal supported on an optically active support, in the hydrogenation step. The optically active ketones are also available by conventional reoxidation of an optically active alcohol of the next paragraph, e.g., via the Jones oxidation, which is exemplified below.
The hydroxy compounds of the formula (I) and (IV) wherein Y (or Y.sup.2) is hydrogen and Y.sup.1 (or Y.sup.3) is OH contain two such asymmetric carbons--corresponding to two racemates and four optically active compounds. One of these racemates is the above noted cis-isomer, and the other the trans-isomer. Each of these racemates is capable of resolution into a pair of enantiomers via diastereomeric salts, as detailed in the preceding paragraph. It is preferred, however, to convert the racemic alcohol to corresponding diastereomeric esters or urethanes formed with an optically active acid or isocyanate. Such covalently bonded derivatives are generally subjectable to a broader variety of separation methods (e.g., chromatography) than are diastereomeric salts. Such diastereomeric esters are formed from the alcohol and the optically active acid by standard methods, generally those involving activation of the acid, e.g., as the acid chloride, as a mixed anhydride with an alkyl chloroformate, or with a dehydrative coupling agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. A preferred optically active acid in the present case is S-O-acetyl-mandelic acid. Once the resulting diastereomeric esters are separated, e.g., by chromatographic methods, they are hydrolyzed by conventional methods, e.g., aqueous acid or aqueous base, to obtain the enantiomeric, optically active alcohols.
The prodrug esters of the present invention are prepared by methods similar to those used in the synthesis of esters in the preceding paragraph. Esters with alpha-amino acids, including natural L-amino acids, will generally be prepared from the appropriate amino acid in which the alpha-amino group, substituent NH.sub.2 or NH groups (e.g., lysine, ornithine, arginine, histidine, tryptophan), hydroxy groups (serine, homoserine, threonine, tyrosine), mercapto groups (cysteine) and substituent carboxy groups (glutamic acid, aspartic acid) are in protected form (e.g., N-benzyloxycarbonyl, O- and S-benzyl) generally removed by catalytic hydrogenation in a subsequent step. Similarly, in the case of esters with primary or secondary amino substituents, the acids will be coupled with amino groups protected. Such protection is, of course, unnecessary with those acids containing tertiary amino substituents. Finally, the carboxy substituted esters are most conveniently prepared from the cyclic anhydride: ##STR9##
Concerning the biological activity of the present compounds, it is known that arachidonic acid is metabolized in mammals by means of two distinct pathways, one leading to prostaglandins and thromboxanes, the other to several oxidative products called leukotrienes, which are designated by letter number combinations such as B4, C4 and D4. The first step in this oxidative pathway is the oxidation of arachidonic acid under the influence of 5-lipoxygenase enzyme, an enzyme which is generally inhibited by the compounds (I) of the present invention, thus blocking the synthesis of all leukotrienes. That in itself provides the mechanism sufficient for the utility of the present compounds in the treatment or prevention of asthma (where LTC4 and LTD4 are understood to be mediators), arthritis (where LTB4 is understood to be a mediator in inflammation), psoriasis (where LTB4 is understood to be a mediator), ulcers (where LTC4 and LTD4 are understood to be mediators) and myocardial infarction (where LTB4 is understood to be a mediator). Supplementing this enzyme inhibitory activity is the general ability of the present compounds to antagonize leukotriene D4 (i.e., block LTD4 receptors). In general, the present compounds also antagonize leukotriene B4. For a review concerning leukotrienes, see Bailey et al., Ann. Reports Med. Chem. 17, pp. 203-217 (1982).
The in vitro activity of the compounds of the formula (I) is tested as follows. RBL-1 cells, maintained in monolayer form are grown for 1 or 2 days in spinner culture in Minimum Essential Medium (Eagle) with Earl's Salts plus 15% Fetal Bovine Serum supplemented with antibiotic/antinycotic solution (GIBCO). The cells are washed 1 time with RPMI 1640 (GIBCO) and resuspended in RPMI 1640 plus 1 microM glutathione to a cell density of 1.times.10.sup.7 cells/ml. A volume of 0.5 ml of the cell suspension is incubated at 30.degree. C. with 0.001 ml of dimethylsulfoxide solution of drug for 10 minutes. The reaction is started by a simultaneous addition of 0.005 ml (14C)-arachidonic acid in ethanol and 0.002 ml A23187 in dimethylsulfoxide to give final concentrations of 5.0 and 7.6 microM, respectively. After a 5 minute incubation at 30.degree. C., the reaction is stopped by the addition of 0.27 ml acetonitrile/acetic acid (100/0.3) and the media is clarified by centrifugation. Analysis of the product profile is made by a 0.2 ml injection of the clarified supernatant into HPLC. The separation of radioactive products is effected on a radial PAX CN column (5 mm I. D., Waters) with a solvent system of acetonitrile/H.sub.2 O/ acetic acid (0.1%) with a linear acetonitrile gradient from 35% to 70% over 15 minutes at 1 ml/minute. Quantitation is accomplished with a Berthold Radioactivity Monitor equipped with a built-in integrator and a 0.2 ml flow cell mixing 2.4 ml/minute Omnifluor (NEN) with column effluent. Integration units for each product are calculated as a percentage of total integration units, and then compared to the average control levels. The results are expressed as "Percent of Control" and are plotted vs the log of drug concentration. The IC.sub.50 values are estimated by graphical inspection.
The leukotriene D4 (LTD4) receptor assay tests the ability of a compound to compete with radiolabelled LTD4 for specific LTD4 receptor sites on guinea pig lung membranes. In this test, normal 3-4 week-old guinea pigs are acclimatized under standard conditions for 3 days prior to being sacrificed. Final animal age: 24-31 days. The guinea pigs are stunned by a blow to the back of the neck, and exsanguinated by cutting the carotid artery. The chest cavity is opened and the lungs are removed, rinsed in 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.0) and placed in clean buffer. In this and all subsequent operations, all tissue and buffer are kept on ice throughout the preparation, and all centrifugation is carried out at 4.degree. C. Bronchi and connective tissue are trimmed from the lungs. The tissue is weighed and placed in 50 ml polycarbonate tubes with buffer at a ratio of 1 gm tissue/3 ml buffer. The tissue is homogenized by a Tekmar Tissumizer at full speed for 30 seconds and centrifuged in a Sovall SS-34 rotor at 3250 rpm.times.15 minutes. The supernatant is centrifuged at 19,000 rpm.times.10 minutes. The resulting pellet is resuspended in buffer with the Tissumizer at medium speed (position 75) for 10 seconds. The resuspension is again centrifuged at 19,000 rpm.times.10 minutes. The resulting pellet is resuspended by the Tissumizer at slow speed (position 50) for 10 seconds in 1 ml buffer/g of starting tissue. This final suspension is stirred at 4.degree. C. while aliquoted to polypropylene tubes and stored at -70.degree. C. The following are added to a 12.times.75 mm polystyrene tube:
(1) 25 microL of one of the following:
A. Dimethylsulfoxide (to determine total binding)
B. 1 microM LTD4 (to determine non-specific binding)
C. 30 nanoM--100 microM compound in dimethylsulfoxide
(2) 0.025 ml 3H-LTD4 (specific activity 30-60 Ci/mmol) in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.0)+10 microM L-cysteine (12,000-15,000 cpm/0.025 ml)
(3) 0.2 ml diluted membrane preparation (1 mg/ml) (The preparation is diluted in 50 microm Tris buffer+MgCl.sub.2 such that in 200 microL protein, a 10 microM MgCl.sub.2 concentration is achieved).
The reaction tubes are incubated at 25.degree. C. for 30 minutes. Four ml of cold Tris buffer+10 microM MgCl.sub.2 are added to each tube. The contents are quickly filtered through a Whatman GF/C filter with a Yeda separation device. The filter is washed 3.times. with 4 ml Tris-MgCl.sub.2 buffer. The filter is transferred to a scintillation vial. Ultrafluor scintillation fluid is added. The vial is capped, vortexed and counted for 3 hours. Percent specific binding is calculated using the formula:
% SB=(X-NSB)/(TB-NSB) where X=cpm sample
NSB=cpm non-specific binding
TB=cpm total binding
Percent specific binding is graphed as a function of compound concentration. IC.sub.50 is that concentration at which 50% SB occurs. Ki is calculated by using the formula:
Ki=(IC.sub.50)/[1+(L/Kd)]
where L=concentration of ligand added (microM)=cpm added/cpm of 1 microM 3H-LTD4
Kd=1 microM (dissociation constant)

In this test neutrophils are isolated from heparinized human peripheral blood (usually 100 ml) using a Hypaque-Ficoll gradient (density 1.095 g/ml). Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing 0.1 grams/100 ml bovine serum albumin (HBSS-BSA) is used to resuspend the cells. The one step Hypaque-Ficoll technique yields highly pure populations of neutrophils (greater than 95%). Cell viability is assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion (should be greater than 95%), and the functional integrity of the neutrophils was determined by nitroblue tetrazolium reduction (should be greater than 85% positive). Compounds undergoing test are dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide at a concentration of 100 microM. These solutions are diluted by a factor of 500 using HBSS-BSA. A concentration of 100 microM drug is achieved by introducing the diluted sample in a 0.5 ml aliquot into the reaction tube. Serial dilutions of 1-3 and 1-5 are made (as appropriate) and a 0.5 ml aliquot of these dilutions is added to the incubation tube. [3H]-LTB4 (NEN:specific radioactivity, greater than 180 Ci/mmol; 0.005 ml in absolute ethanol) is introduced into borosilicate tubes (12.times.75 mm). A volume of 0.5 ml of the drug solution (see above) is then added. The binding reaction is initiated by adding 0.5 ml of ice cold neutrophils at a cell density of [5.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml], and continued at 4.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The incubation is terminated by rapid filtration through a Whatman GF/C glass filter to separate the free from the bound radiolabelled ligand. The filters are washed 3-times with 3 ml ice-cold HBSS, dried, placed in 4 ml of Ultrafluor, and counted. Total binding is defined as the CPM present on the filter (cell associated) when radiolabelled ligand is incubated with neutrophils in the absence of any competing agent. Nonspecific binding is obtained by incubating cells with radiolabelled ligand plus 1 microM nonradiolabelled LTB4. Specific binding is total binding CPM corrected for the nonspecific binding CPM. Every tube is corrected for nonspecific binding. Points of half-maximal displacement of radiolabelled ligand are estimated by graphical analysis on a semi-logarithmic plot of percent of specific binding (no competitor present) vs concentration.
To evaluate the compounds of the formula (I) in vivo, they are tested by the so-called PAF lethality assay procedure:
Materials:
Mice: CD1 males, all approximately the same weight (approximately 26 grams), 12 per group.
Vehicle for oral drug dosing:
EES (5% ethanol, 5% emulphor, 90% saline). Stored at room temperature.
Drugs:
For routine screening at 50 mg/kg, 20 mg drug is dissolved in 4 ml EES, using sonication in a sonicator bath or grinding in a Ten Broeck grinder to dissolve drug if necessary. If solubility is still a problem, the drug is used as a suspension.
Vehicle for i.v. Injection:
Saline with 2.5 mg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA, Sigma #A4378) and 0.05 mg/ml Propranolol (Sigma #P0884). Prepared fresh daily and kept at room temperature.
Platelet Activating Factor (PAF):
A 10 microM stock solution is prepared by dissolving 1 mg PAF (Calbiochem #429460) in 0.18 ml ethanol. This is stored at -20.degree. C. and is diluted in vehicle (see above) the day of use. The concentration of PAF used is calibrated so that when injected at 0.1 ml/10 grams body weight, it will kill approximately 80% of untreated controls.
This is usually about 0.028 g/kg (a 1 to 2034 dilution from stock). The solution is prepared in glass containers and is used with glass syringes to minimize surface adhesion by the PAF. It is kept at room temperature.
Positive Control:
Phenidone is used at 25 mg/kg (its approximate ED 50).
Method:
45 minutes before PAP injection, mice are treated orally with drug using 0.1 ml/10 grams body weight. 35 to 40 minutes later they are placed under a heat lamp to dilate the caudal vein for PAF injection. PAF is injected i.v. at 0.1 ml/10 grams body weight, and death follows usually within 30 minutes, rarely after 60 minutes. Results are expressed as percent mortality as compared to controls. Because the assay appears to be sensitive to endogenous catecholamines (i.e., beta agonists protect the mice), Propranolol is used to overcome this potential problem. It also helps if the mice are acclimated to the room before testing, and if room noise and temperature are kept moderate and constant. The heat lamp distance should be calibrated so as to permit vasodilation without visible stress to the mice. Fasting the mice should be avoided.
Variations:
1. The time for oral dosing can be changed.
2. Intravenous drug dosing is possible by coinjecting the drug with PAS in the same volume and vehicle as described above. For coinjection, PAP is prepared at twice the desired concentration in saline with BSA and Propranolol as above, and the drug is prepared at twice the desired concentration in the same vehicle. The two preparations are mixed in equal volumes immediately before injection.
For use in the prevention or treatment of asthma, arthritis, psoriasis and gastrointestinal ulcers in a mammal, including man, a compound of the formula (I) is given in a 5-lipoxygenase inhibiting and/or leukotriene receptor blocking amount of about 0.5-50 mg/kg/day, in single or divided daily doses. A more preferred dosage range is 2-20 mg/kg/day, although in particular cases, at the discretion of the attending physician, doses outside the broader range may be required. The preferred route of administration is generally oral, but parenteral administration (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal) will be preferred in special cases, e.g., where oral absorption is impaired as by disease, or the patient is unable to swallow.
The compounds of the present invention are generally administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of the compounds of the formula (I), together with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle or diluent. Such compositions are generally formulated in a conventional manner utilizing solid or liquid vehicles or diluents as appropriate to the mode of desired administration: for oral administration, in the form of tablets, hard or soft gelatin capsules, suspensions, granules, powders and the like; and, for parenteral administration, in the form of injectable solutions or suspensions, and the like.
The present invention is illustrated by the following examples, but is not limited to the details thereof.

Alternative Method for cis-3R-(3-Carboxybenzyl)-6-(5-fluoro-2-benzothiazolyl)methoxy-4R-chromanol
Title product of Example 51 (15.0 g, 32.2 mmol) was added slowly to boiling methanol (400 ml) on a steam bath until solution was obtained. Quinine (12.3 g, 32.4 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and the two solutions combined and allowed to cool with stirring for 3 days. The quinine salt of title product as a white solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with methanol and air dried (11.78 g, m.p. 201-203.5.degree. C.). This quinine salt (11.72 g) was added in portions to boiling methanol (1050 ml). When solution was obtained, the hot solution was filtered through fluted filter paper to remove a haze, then the volume reduced to 320 ml by atmospheric distillation of the solvent. After concentration of the solution, crystallization commenced immediately and was allowed to proceed overnight at ambient temperature. The white solid product was collected by vacuum filtration, and air dried to give 9.4 g of purified quinine salt of title product, m.p. 204-206.degree. C., [alpha].sup.25.sub.D =-32.8.degree.
