Abstract: The invention relates to novel N-hydroxy-substituted 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and piperidine derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein A, B, D, E, G, I and R are as defined in the specification, m is 0, 1 or 2, with the proviso that:m is 0 or 2, or both G and I are hydrogen, when A is benzyl or halogen-monosubstituted benzyl group; andm is 1, when A is 2-picolyl, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. The compounds of formula (I) are useful for enhancing the tolerance of mammals (including man) against hypoxic and/or ischaemic states as well as for treating the degenerative and functional disturbances arising from hypoxic and/or ischaemic results.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel, sulfur-containing 5-substituted benzimidazole derivatives of formula I ##STR1## and acid-addition salts thereof antihyperlipoproteinemic action, a process for preparing the same, pharmaceutical formulations comprising the novel compound as active ingredient and a method for inhibiting atherosclerosis, trombus formation and treating hyperlipoproteinemic diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to new 2-pyridine-thiol derivatives of the formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms,Z is phenyl optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms and/or alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms,R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represents hydrogen, alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylphenyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety or an ##STR2## group, in which R has the same meaning as defined above, and the substituent ##STR3## is attached to the pyridine ring in the position 3 or 4, with the proviso that if R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are both methyl and Z is 4-chlorophenyl, R is other than hydrogen, and acid addition salts thereof.The invention further relates to processes for the preparation of the above compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them as active ingredient.The compounds are pharmaceutically active, in particular show cytoprotective activity.

Abstract: New intermediate compounds of the formula (I) are disclosed ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl;Z is phenyl optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms and/or alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; andD is hydroxy, mesyloxy, p-tosyloxy, or halogen; or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof. The compounds of the Formula (I) are intermediates in the preparation of new compounds having anti-ulcer activity.

Abstract: The compound N-{2-[(3-benzoyl-1-pyridyl)-thio]-ethyl}-N'-cyano-S-methyl-isothiourea and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are disclosed as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing same and a method of treatment employing same. The compound or its acid addition salts are effective in treating gastric oedema and thus are useful in ulcer therapy.
