 The compounds of this invention have bronchodilator (B-sympathomimetic) activity useful in the treatment of bronchial asthma and related bronchial spasms. In animals such as dogs, a dose of about 0.1-5 mg/kg (i.p.) is effective to prevent an increase in pulmonary resistance due to bronchial spasms induced by the aerosol administration of 1 mg of histamine. Minimal car- EXAMPLE 2 Methyl 5-benzyloxyhydrogenisophthalate., A mixture of 91.0 g (0.304 mole) of dimethyl 5-benzyoxisophthalate and 13.4 g (0.334 moles) of NaOH in diac stimulant or heart rate increases are observed at 500 ml of MeOH was refluxed for 2.5 hrs. The mixture this dosage level. The compounds exhibit the same potency in the guinea pig against aerosolized histamine. Further, these compounds selectively exert their therapeutic effect in the lung following either oral or parenteral administration.  
  The compounds of this invention are indicated in the treatment or management of bronchial asthma. The dose required is within the above-described dosage range which, of course, can be varied depending upon the severity of the condition being treated and the age and sex of the patient, by methods well known to the clinical arts.  
 In order to use these compounds theyare combined with diluents such as lactose, dicalcium phosphate and compounded into dosage forms such as tablets by methods well known to the pharmacists art. They can also be formulated as an aerosol by suspending the selected compound in a vehicle such as normal saline and formulated by standard pharmaceutical procedures.  
  In order to enhance and broaden the therapeutic spectrum of these compounds other therapeutic agents such as steroids, typically those derived from the cortisone series, may also be included in these dosage forms.
