Abstract
Anti-allergic agents of N-aromatic 1H-(or 2H) tetrazole-5-carboxamide derivation present the following formulae: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is --CN or --CONH.sub.2 ; R.sup.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halo, polyhalo(lower)alkyl, lower alkyl carbonyl or carb(lower)alkoxy; X is --CH.sub.2 --, ##STR2## where R.sup.3 is lower alkyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; Or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Claims4
A process for preventing the release of pharmacological mediators from an immediate hypersensitivity reaction between reaginic type antibodies and an antigen, thereby preventing the symptoms manifest in bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctvitis, food allergy and anaphylactoid reactions of a sensitized animal, which comprises prophylactically administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of the formula:
- ##STR10## in which
- R.sup.1 is CN or --CONH.sub.2 ;
- R.sup.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halo, polyhalo(lower)alkyl, lower alkyl carbonyl or carb(lower)alkoxy;
- X is --CH.sub.2 --, --O-- or ##STR11## where R.sup.3 is lower alkyl;
- and R.sup.H is hydrogen or lower alkyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
