| abstract |
The present invention provides novel compounds of formula (I), the N-oxides, the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein A and B taken together form a bivalent radical of formula: -N=CH- (a), -CH=N- (b), -CH2-CH2- (c), -CH=CH-(d), -C(=O)-CH2- (e), -CH2-C(=O)- (f); R1 is hydrogen, C1-6alkyl, or halo; R2 is hydrogen or halo; R3 is hydrogen; C1-8alkyl; C3-6cycloalkyl or C1-8 alkyl substituted with hydroxy, oxo, C3-6cycloalkyl or aryl. Het is five- or six membered optionally substituted heterocyclic ring. The use as a medicine, especially as a lipid lowering agent is disclosed as well as pharmaceutical compositions and processes for preparing compounds and compositions. |
