The compounds of formula I exhibit activity as platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonists and are, therefore, useful in disease states characerized by excess platelet activating factor or for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, pulmonary diseases, immunological disorders, inflammatory diseases, dermatological disorders, shock or transplant rejection.
