Abstract

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein each X, which may be identical or different from the other X, is oxygen or imino; R.sub.1 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be identical or different from each other, are each hydrogen; unsubstituted or mono-substituted alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, where the substituent is phenyl or dialkylamino with 1 to 3 carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety; pyridyl; or cycloalkyl of 5 to 7 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, together with each other and the nitrogen atoms to which they are attached, are pyrrolidino, piperidino, hexamethyleneimino, morpholino, N-aryl-piperazino or N-(alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms)-piperazino; A is cycloalkylene of 5 to 7 carbon atoms; unsubstituted or substituted alkylene of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, where the substituents are one to two alkyls of 1 to 3 carbon atoms each, one to two carbalkoxys of 2 to 4 carbon atoms each, one to two phenyls, one to four hydroxyls, one halomethyl, one hydroxymethyl, one alkanoyloxy of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, one alkanoyloxymethyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkanoyl moiety or one ##STR2## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 have the meanings previously defined; or alkylene of 2 to 10 carbon atoms interrupted by oxygen, sulfur, sulfoxide, sulfonyl, phenyl, cyclohexyl, pyridyl, piperazino or unsubstituted or substituted imino, where the substituent on the imino group is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl or phenylalkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety; B is the acyl residue of an antiphlogistic carboxylic acid; and their non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts. The compounds as well as their salts are useful as anti-inflammatories.
