Abstract: A strain of Actinomadura sp., NRRL 15758, is capable of producing the CL-1724 complex of antibiotic substances in isolable quantities under conditions of aerobic fermentation in a culture medium containing assimilable sources of carbon and nitrogen.

Abstract: A purified isolate of an actinomycete identified as ATCC 39366 is capable of producing the antimicrobial compound CL-1957E which also exhibits antitumor properties.The antimicrobial compound CL-1957E is produced by cultivating isolate ATCC 39366 under aerobic conditions in a culture medium containing assimilable sources of carbon and nitrogen until a substantially quantity of the CL-1957E compound is produced, and subsequently isolating the CL-1957E compound.The antibiotic compound CL-1957E and pharmaceutical compositions comprising this substance together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is also disclosed, as are methods of treating microbial infections and tumors in mammals, employing these pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Certain disubstituted pyrimidineamides of oleic and linoleic acids are potent inhibitors of the enzyme acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase and are thus useful agents for inhibiting the intestinal absorption of cholesterol.

Abstract: A novel method of producing 4,5-dihydro-6-(substituted)phenyl-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone compounds and the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt compounds is provided as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of the compounds as active components of the compositions for their pharmacological activity, particularly their cardiotonic and/or antihypertensive activity.Said 5-methylpyridazinone compounds have greatly improved cardiotonic activity in vivo that causes, for example, a significant increase in myocardial contractility in the dog. Said compounds also cause a decrease in blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. Said compounds are produced by a stepwise procedure in which one reacts a substituted morpholineacetonitrile with crotononitrile to obtain the corresponding 4-(substituted)-.beta.-methyl.gamma.-oxobenzenebutanoic acid and reacts the latter acid with hydrazine to provide the 4,5-dihydro-6-(substituted)phenyl-5-methyl-3(2 ,uns/H/ )-pyridazinone product.
