Patent ID: 6956055

Claim:
Substituted γ-lactone compounds of the general formula I, in which R 1 denotes an optionally at least mono-substituted aryl or heteroaryl residue, an optionally at least mono-substituted aryl or heteroaryl residue attached via a C 1-6 alkylene group, an optionally at least mono-substituted, saturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 1-10 residue, an optionally at least mono-substituted, at least partially unsaturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 2-10 residue or an optionally at least mono-substituted, saturated or at least mono-unsaturated cycloaliphatic C 3-9 residue, R 2 denotes an optionally at least mono-substituted, saturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 1-10 residue or an optionally at least mono-substituted, at least partially unsaturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 2-10 residue, R 3 denotes an optionally at least mono-substituted aryl residue, R 4 denotes H, or R 3 and R 4 together denote an optionally at least mono-substituted, saturated or at least mono-unsaturated aliphatic C 3-7 residue, with the proviso that the residue R 2 in this case denotes an optionally at least mono-substituted aryl residue, an optionally at least mono-substituted, saturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 1-10 residue or an optionally at least mono-substituted, at least partially unsaturated, branched or unbranched aliphatic C 2-10 residue in the form of the racemates, diastereomers or enantiomers thereof in the form of the base thereof or of a corresponding physiologically acceptable salt, wherein the compounds of the general formula I, in which R 1 denotes a 2-, 4-, 6-trichlorophenyl residue, R 2 a methyl residue, R 3 a phenyl residue and R 4 denotes H, are excepted.
