Compounds of the formula STR1 wherein X is O or CH 2 ; Y is O,--CH 2--CH 2,--CH=CH--,--C C--, or--OCH 2 C 6 H 4--;Z is--CH 2--CH 2--,--CH=CH--or--C C--;f, h, k, m and t, independently, are 0 or 1;n is an integer from 1 to 12; R 1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, cycloalkyl, or aralkyl; andA is B or--O--B, wherein B is a mono-, di-or tricyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety substituted by the group--COR 2,--(O) t--(W) s--COR 2 or--(CH=CH) p COR 2 and which may also contain up to 4 additional substituents selected, independently, from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, sulfonamido, alkanoyl, aroyl,--(Q) k--(W) s'--E or--(Q) k--(W) s"--C 6 H 4--(W) s'"--E, provided that no more than one of said substituents is--(Q) k--(W) s'--E or--(Q) k--(W). sub.s"--C 6 H 4--(W) s'"--E, and wherein E is COR 2 or R 2, W is--CR 3 R 4--, Q is O or carbonyl, p is an integer from 1 to 2, s and s', independently, are an integer from 1-12, s" and s'", independently, are an integer from 0 to 12, C 6 H 4 is a 1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-phenylene moiety, and R 2 is hydroxy, lower alkoxy or NR 3 R 4, wherein R 3 and R 4, each occurrence, independently, are hydrogen or lower alkyl,their geometric and optical isomers and, when R 2 is hydroxy, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with bases. The compounds of formula I are potent leukotriene B 4 antagonists and are therefore useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergy, arthritis, dermatitis, gout, pulmonary disease, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and trauma induced inflammation, such as spinal cord injury.
