The present invention relates to an aminomethyl substituted bicyclic aromatic compound of the formula IwhereinAr is a cyclic radical selected from the group consisting of phenyl, a 5- or 6-membered C-bound heteroaromatic radical comprising as ring member 1, 2 or 3 heteroatoms which are, independently of each other, selected from O, S and N, and a phenyl ring fused to a saturated or unsaturated 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, where the heterocyclic ring comprises as ring members 1, 2 or 3 heteroatoms selected from N, 0 and S and / or 1, 2 or 3
heteroatom-containing groups each independently selected from NR8, where R8 is H, C1-C4-
alkyl, fluorinated C1-C4-
alkyl, C1-C4-alkylcarbonyl or fluorinated C1-C4-alkylcarbonyl, and where the cyclic radical Ar may carry 1, 2 or 3 substituents Ra, wherein the variable Ra has the meanings given in the claims and in the description;X is a
covalent bond or N—R2, CHR2, CHR2CH2, N or C—R2;Y is N—R2a, CHR2a, CHR2aCH2 or CHR2aCH2CH2; is a
single bond or a
double bond;E is CH2 or NR3;R1 is H, C3-C4-cycloalkyl, C3-C4-cycloalkylmethyl, C3-C4-alkenyl, fluorinated C1-C4-
alkyl, fluorinated C3-C4-cycloalkyl, fluorinated C3-C4-cycloalkylmethyl, fluorinated C3-C4-alkenyl, formyl or C1-C3-alkylcarbonyl;R1a is H, C1C4-alkyl, C3-C4-cycloalkyl, C3-C4-alkenyl, fluorinated C1-C4-alkyl, fluorinated C3-C4-cycloalkyl, fluorinated C3-C4-alkenyl,R2 and R2a each independently are H, CH3, CH2F, CHF2 or CF3 or R1a and R2 or R1a and R2a together are (CH2)n with n being 1, 2 or 3;R3 is H or C1C4-alkyl;R4 and R5 independently of each other are H, C1-C4-alkyl, fluorinated C1-C4-alkyl or C1-C4-alkoxy or may form, together with N, a 4-, 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated ring;R6 and R7 independently of each other are H or
halogen;and the physiologically tolerated acid addition salts thereof.
