Abstract: The present invention relates to a stereospecific chemical synthesis of optically pure enantiomers of 2-aryl-alkanoic acids, especially those of the biologically active (S)-aryl-propionic acids, in good chemical yields, useful for preparing large quantities thereof, and having a high optical purity.

Abstract: The synthesis and application of N(1)-n-alkyl-pyrimidinium-salts are described. These surfactants have a very small critical micelle concentration ()CMC) in the order of 10.sup.-5 -10.sup.-7 Mol/Liter. These N(1)-n-alkyl-pyrimidinium components have pharmacological activities and can act as antimetabolites.

The N-detergents can be used as pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: The synthesis of 4-, 4-(1,1)-and 3,5-substituted N-alkyl-pyridinium salts as well as of 2-carboxamide substituted N(1,4)diazinium compounds are described. The N-surfactants obtained have a small critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 10.sup.-5 -10.sup.-7 Mol/Liter. These surfactants produce micells of different size and form depending on the nature of the anions. 4-(1,1)-substituted and 3,5-substituted N-alkyl-pyridinium components are capable of forming vesicles in equeous solutions of different forms and sizes. The N-surfactants synthesized can be used as pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation is disclosed which is made up of a micelle or a vesicle each consisting of a cationic tenside with a monovalent ion and a hydrophobic cyclic or linear peptide, dispersed in a solvent whose pH value lies between pH 7-pH 8, the critical micellization concentration (cmc) lying in the range of 1.0.10.sup.-7 to 7.0.10.sup.-5 mol/liter. The preparations disclosed have in particular the advantage that by the increasing of the hydrophobicity of the alkyl or aryl chain or the radical at the N.sup.+ tenside both the membrane permeability is increased and furthermore the pharmaceutical active substance, in particular linear and cyclic tyrocidines (A-J), can be transferred actively into the cytosol. They thus act on the transciption level. In addition, linear and cyclic tyrocidines in particular have antiviral effects.

Abstract: The synthesis of 7-n-alkyl-imidazolium [4,5-d]-pyrimidines, 6-substituted-3n-alkyl-benzimidazolium- and 3n-alkyl-5,6-substituted-benzthiazolium salts are described.

The size and shape of these micelles in watery solutions are determined by the nature of the anion. The N-surfactants can be used as pharmaceuticals as well as reporter groups in fluorescence studies including immunological assays.
