ABSTRACT Heterobicyclic Compounds There are disclosed compounds of the general formula The heteroatom X is preferably oxygen, but may have other values. The group W is preferably a carbonyl group, but may have other values. The preferred heterocyclic ring is thus a 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran ring. This may have a wide range of R2, R3, R6 and R7 substituents. Y is a linking group, chosen from a wide range, but including -COO- , -CONH- , -O- , -SO2- and -SO2NH-. Z is an alkylene chain, and B is a complex amine. These compounds and their prodrugs, enantiomers, diastereoisomers, N-oxides and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful for the treatment of hypertension and urinary tract troubles associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy, and for the treatment of other diseases. |
