Abstract: Novel 5-carbamoylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamides and derivatives thereof are prepared in reactions of 5-methoxycarbonylthieno-[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamide with alkylamines, alkoxyalkylamines and hydroxyalkylamines. These compounds are useful for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in compositions including ophthalmic drops and inserts.
Abstract: Thiophene (or furan)-2-sulfonamides with a 4-benzyl substituent are effective in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma following topical ocular administration.
Abstract: 1-Aryloxy-3-(substituted alkylamino)-2-propanols having the general information: ##STR1## and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit cardioselective .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity, and are useful as antihypertensive, cardioprotective, antiarrhythmic and, antianginal agents.
Abstract: Novel substituted imidazoles and methods for their preparation are disclosed. These imidazoles, and their salts, exhibit pharmacological activity which includes antihypertensive activity and .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity.
Abstract: Heterocyclic aminoethanols of the formula:Het--CHOH--CH.sub.2 --NH-aralkylwhere Het is a 6-10 membered N-heterocycle are disclosed. The compounds are useful as pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: A closure counter for counting how many times a screw cap closure has been closed and opened is described, which is back in its initial position after N closing and opening operations.The closure counter includes an open-bottomed housing (10) and a likewise open-bottomed cap-shaped counting unit (11) arranged in the housing for rotation about its longitudinal axis (12), the rotary motion relative to the housing (10) is limited to a fraction 1/N of one full rotation, and a display unit (13) is arranged for rotation about the longitudinal axis (12) of the counting unit (11), the rotation of the display unit (13) relative to the counting unit (11) being allowed in only one direction by a ratchet (14), the click motion likewise corresponds to the fraction 1/N of one full rotation, and there is sliding fit between the housing (10) and the display unit (13).
Abstract: The 1-aryloxy-3-(substituted alkylamino)-2-propanols of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit cardioselective .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity, and are useful as antihypertensive, cardioprotective, antiarrhythmic and, antianginal agents.
Abstract: Novel substituted aminohydroxypropoxyphenyl oxazole and thiazole compounds and methods for their preparation are disclosed. These compounds, and their salts exhibit cardioselective .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity, and are useful as antihypertensive, cardioprotective, antiarrhythmic and antianginal agents.
