| abstract |
The present invention concerns novel carboxamide derivatives of formula (I), set out hereinbelow which antagonize the pharmacological actions of one of the endogenous neuropeptide tachykinins at the neurokinin 2 (NK2) receptor, making them useful whenever such antagonism is desired, such as in the treatment of asthma and related conditions. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel carboxamide derivatives for use in such treatment, methods for their use, and processes and intermediates for the manufacture of the novel carboxamide derivatives. |
