Racemic Compounds of the formula I and their enantiomer and salts thereof are described. The compounds of formula I exhibit activity as inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and inhibit lipid peroxidation. They are, therefore, useful in the treatment of diseases caused or aggravated by excess oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid via the 5-lipoxygenase pathway and in the treatment of inflammation, arthritis, allergies, asthma and psoriasis. The compounds of formula I can also be used to prevent peroxidation of lipids and thus protect lipid membranes from oxidative stress
