Certain tetrahydronaphthyl or indanylcarboxylates and derivatives thereof which inhibit the synthesis of thromboxane

Abstract

Benzocycloalkane derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein: Z represents a methylene group or an ethylene group, either one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represents --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --COOR.sup.3 and the other represents ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, n represents an interger of 1 to 6 and m represents an interger of 0 to 5, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof; having a strong and selective inhibition activity of thromboxane A.sub.2 synthesis.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
