3. A tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol derivative of Formula 1 according to claim 1
wherein
R1 is (C1-C4)alkyl, (C2-C4)alkenyl or (C2-C4)alkynyl, independently optionally substituted with one or more halogen, R1 having a cis-orientation in relation to both the exocyclic phenyl group at the 6-position and the benzyl group at the 8-position of the skeleton;
R2-R6 are independently H, halogen, CN, OH, (C1-C4)alkyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogen or (C1-C2)alkoxy, with a maximum of two OH groups;
R7-R13 are independently H, halogen, CN, (C1-C4)alkyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogen or (C1 -C2)alkoxy;
or a prodrug thereof.
4. A tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol derivative of Formula 1 according to claim 1
wherein
R1 is (C1-C4)alkyl, (C2-C4)alkenyl or (C2-C4)alkynyl, independently optionally substituted with one or more halogen, R1 having a cis-orientation in relation to both the exocyclic phenyl group at the 6-position and the benzyl group at the 8-position of the skeleton;
R2-R13 are independently H, halogen, CN, OH, (C1-C4)alkyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogen or (C1-C2)alkoxy, with a maximum of five R2-R13 groups unequal to H.
