Claimed are intermediates in the synthesis of N-Arylmethyl-3-Oxo-2,3-dihydro- [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-6-carboxamides as well as a process (A) to arrive at 3-Oxo-2, 3-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid. The triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-6-carboxamides of formula (I) are used as soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEH) having therapeutic effect in pathologic conditions such as hypertension, stroke, inflammatory processes, diabetes and a variety of cardiovascular diseases. |
