Substituted phenylacetylenes of the formula STR1 wherein one of the groups R1 is a hydrogen atom and the other represents the group of the formula STR2 in which R3 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R4 is a methyl or an amino group and wherein R2 represents mono- or binuclear aromatic or heterocyclic residues containing sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen as hetero atoms and optionally being substituted by 1 to 3 substituents as defined, which specifically inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions for prophylaxis and treatment of diseases due to the action of leukotrienes. The compounds may be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula STR3 wherein R2 has the same meaning as above and one of the groups R7 is a hydrogen atom and the other represents the group of the formula --COR3, with hydroxylamine to form the oxime which then is reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamine compound into which the group of the formula --COR4 is introduced.
