Derivatives of tetrahydropyridines (or 4-hydroxypiperidines)-butylazols of formula (I), wherein R1, R2 and R3, which are similar or different, represent each of them hydrogen, halogen, alkyl C1-C4, trifluoromethyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, or two adjacent radicals can form a ring; A is a C atom and the dotted line represents an additional bond, or A is a C atom joined to a hydroxyl group and the dotted line represents absence of additional bond; Z1 is N or CR4; Z2 is N or CR5; Z4 is N or CR7; and R4, R5, R6 and R7, which are similar or different, represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl C1-C4, aryl or substituted aryl, or two adjacent radicals can form part of another ring. These derivatives are useful for the treatment of acute pain, neuropathic pain or nociceptive pain in mammals, including human beings. |
