Abstract
Compounds of formula I ##STR1## wherein Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl ring; B is a single bond, a group --(CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2).sub.n being n=or 2, a a 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-dioxolane ring or a 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-thioxolane ring, R is a single bond, an optionally substituted methylene or ethylene group and T is 2, 3- or 4-pyridyl, an optionally salified or esterified carboxy group or a carboxyamide group. Said compounds are useful in treatment of respiratory diseases.
