- and where Ar2 may be fused to a carbocyclic aromatic or non-aromatic ring or 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic aromatic or non-aromatic ring having 1 or 2 heteroatoms, selected from O, S and N,
- R1 is C3-C6-cycloalkyl or C1-C6-alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by OH or OC1-C6-alkyl;
- the radicals R2, which can be identical or different, are H or C1-C6-alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by OH, OC1-C6-alkyl or phenyl;
- or a salt thereof with a physiologically tolerated acid.
