ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to novel 6-phenylphenanthridines, which are used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of medicaments.
KNOWN TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Chem. Ber. 1939, 72, 675-677, J. Chem. Soc., 1956, 4280-4283 and J. Chem. Soc.(C), 1971, 1805 describe the synthesis of 6-phenylphenanthridines. The International Applications WO 97/28131 and WO 97/35854 describe 6-phenyl- and 6-pyridylphenanthridines as PDE4 inhibitors.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
