Abstract: This invention relates to new 1-(hydroxystyryl)-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives of the general formula (I) and to a process for the preparation thereof, furthermore to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, ##STR1## wherein R stands for a hydrogen or halogen atom, or a C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group,R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group,R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical and denote a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, or combined they denote a methylene group.The compounds of the general formula (I) possess valuable positive inotropic (cardiotonic) potency, are capable to increase the myocardiac contractile force (heart performance in cardiac insufficiency), thus they can be applied in the therapy of chronic heart failure and coronary ailments.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel 3(2H)-pyridazinone-derivatives of the general formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions containing them and process for their preparation. In the general formula (I) ##STR1## stands for an ethyl or propyl group substituted by a terminal halogen atom or a hydroxyl or NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 group, whereinR.sup.1 represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted benzyl group;R.sup.2 represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted benzo[1,4]dioxan-2-yl-methyl or -ethyl group or a (CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.3 group, whereinn is 2 or 3; andR.sup.3 stands for an unsubstituted or optionally substituted phenoxy or phenylthio group; andX stands for a hydrogen or halogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted, saturated or unsaturated 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group containing a nitrogen atom and optionally an additional heteroatom, e.g.

Abstract: This invention relates to new 3-(hydroxymethyl)-isoquinoline derivatives of the general formula (I), their acid addition salts, and to a process for the preparation thereof, furthermore to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, ##STR1## wherein R and R.sup.1 are identical or different and stand for a hydrogen or halogen atom, a nitro or a C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group,R.sup.2 stands for a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group,R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are identical or different and stand for a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 combined denote a methylene group,with the proviso that when R stands for 3-methoxy, R.sup.1 for 4-methoxy, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are identical and represent methyl or ethyl groups, R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen atom.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel pyrimido [5,4-b][1,4]oxazine derivatives of the formula (I), and the acid addition salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and a process for their preparation. In the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 stands for a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group;R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen or halogen or an azido group or an --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 group, whereinR.sup.5 represents hydrogen or a benzyl group, or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group unsubstituted or substituted by a hydroxyl group,R.sup.6 stands for hydrogen, an amino group, a C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl group, a straight or branched-chain C.sub.1-4 alkyl group optionally substituted by a hydroxyl, mercapto, aminocarbonyl, furyl, 2-benzo[1,4]dioxanyl, di(C.sub.1-4 alkyl)amino group or by a phenyl or phenoxy group optionally mono- or polysubstituted by halogen or C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group (s) or by a 6-membered, saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycle optionally containing an additional nitrogen or oxygen atom and optionally substituted by a C.

Abstract: The invention relates to new aminoguanidine derivatives of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each represent hydrogen or halogen atom, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl or C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group,R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 represent a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, furthermore NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 may form a 5 to 7 membered saturated heterocyclic group containing either one or two nitrogen atoms or a nitrogen and an oxygen atom and being optionally substituted by one or two methyl, hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl groups,R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 each represent a hydrogen atom, normal or branched C.sub.1-4 alkyl or C.sub.2-4 alkenyl group,and to their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts as well as to a process for the preparation thereof.The new compounds of the invention possess valuable antiarrhythmic activity and are devoid of the undesired circulatory side effects of the known antiarrhythmic compounds.
