The invention is based on the object of finding novel compounds having useful properties, in particular those which can be used for the production of medicaments.
Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
It has been found that the compounds of the formula I and their salts have useful pharmacological properties together with good tolerability. In particular, they show inhibition of phosphodiesterase IV and can be employed for the treatment of asthmatic disorders. The anti-asthmatic action can be determined, for example, by the method of T.Olsson, Acta allergologica 26, 438-447 (1971).
The compounds additionally show an inhibitory action on the formation of TNF (Tumour Necrosis Factor) and are therefore suitable for the treatment of allergic and inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection reactions. They can also be employed for the treatment of memory disorders.
The compounds of the formula I can therefore be used as pharmaceutically active compounds in human and veterinary medicine. They can further be employed as intermediates for the production of other pharmaceutically active compounds.
The invention accordingly relates to the compounds of the formula I and their salts and to a process for the preparation of these compounds and their salts, characterized in that a compound of the formula II
in which

or in that a compound of the formula IV

contains one or two free OH groups, is optionally reacted with a compound of the formula R
