ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to carboxamide-substituted benzimidazole derivatives, methods of their manufacture, their use in the treatment of certain disease conditions, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Benzimidazole derivatives are known from the prior art as active substances with valuable pharmaceutical properties. Thus, International Patent Application WO 98/37075 discloses, in addition to other bicyclic heterocycles, benzimidazoles which can be effectively used to prevent and treat venous and arterial thrombotic diseases by virtue of their thrombin-inhibiting activity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In contrast to the benzimidazole derivatives as described above and known from the prior art, which are useful for the treatment of thrombotic diseases, the present invention provides compounds having tryptase-inhibitory activity which can be used to prevent and treat inflammatory and/or allergic diseases.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides carboxamide-substituted benzimidazole derivatives of general formula (I)
