Claim:
A substituted tetrahydroimidazopyridine compound corresponding to formula I: wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently denote H, C 1-10 alkyl, C 1-4 alkyl aryl, C 1-4 alkyl heteroaryl, C 1-4 alkyl C 3-8 cycloalkyl, C 1-4 alkyl heterocyclyl or C 3-8 cycloalkyl, with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 do not both denote H, wherein said alkyl and cycloalkyl groups may each be saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated; and said alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl and cycloalkyl groups may each be unsubstituted or mono- or polysubstituted; or R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen to which they are bound form a four- to eight-membered heterocyclic ring, optionally bridged by a C 1 or C 2 alkyl chain, which may contain a further heteroatom and may be substituted or unsubstituted; and R 3 denotes unsubstituted or mono- or poly-substituted phenyl; wherein if one of R 1 or R 2 denotes H, alkyl or phenyl alkyl, the other one of R 1 and R 2 does not denote a group corresponding to formula X1: wherein the phenyl group in formula X1 may be unsubstituted or substituted, and Y denotes a C 2-5 alkyl chain or â€”(CH 2 ) o â€”Zâ€”(CH 2 ) p â€”, wherein Z denotes cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cycloheptyl, and o and p are each 0, 1, 2 or 3, and the sum of o and p is less than or equal to 3, or a salt thereof with a physiologically acceptable acid.
