The present invention relates to novel carboxamide compounds and their use for the manufacture of a medicament. The carboxamide compounds are inhibitors of calpain (calcium dependant cysteine proteases). The invention therefore also relates to the use of these carboxamide compounds for treating a disorder associated with an elevated calpain activity. n The carboxamide compounds are compounds of the general formula I n nin which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 R 4 , R 5 , m and n have the meanings mentioned in the claims and the description, the tautomers thereof, the hydrates thereof and the pharmaceutically suitable salts thereof. Of these compounds those are preferred wherein R 1 is optionally substituted phenyl-C 1 -C 2 -alkyl or hetaryl-C 1 -C 2 -alkyl, R 2 is optionally substituted aryl, hetaryl, aryl-C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, aryl-C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl or hetaryl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, R 3 is C 3 -C 4 -alkyl, C 1 -C 4 -haloalkyl, C 2 -C 4 -alkenyl, C 3 -C 6 -cycloalkyl, C 3 -C 6 -cycloalkyl-C 1 -C 2 -alkyl, C 3 -C 6 -heterocycloalkyl-C 1 -C 2 -alkyl, phenyl-C 1 -C 3 -alkyl, pyridin-2-yl-C 1 -C 3 -alkyl or 1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl-methyl, R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are halogen, CF 3 , CHF 2 , CH 2 F, C 1 -C 2 -alkyl or C 1 -C 2 -alkoxy, and m and n independently of one another are 0 or 1. |
