Abstract: The novel unsaturated arylalkyl ammonium salts described herein are useful as antiarrhythmic agents. A method of treating arrhythmia by increasing the refractoriness of cardiac tissue is provided, as well as pharmaceutical formulations containing such ammonium salts.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting lipoxygenase in a patient, for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of ischaemias and disorders in cardiac rhythm and of rheumatic, allergic and asthmatic diseases, oedemas, pulmonary embolisms, pulmonary hypertension, oxygen intoxications and ulcerations which comprises administering to such patient an effective amount of nafazatrom.

Abstract: There is disclosed a polyprenylcarboxylic acid amide of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a group of the formula: --COOR.sup.4 in which R.sup.4 represents a lower alkyl group, R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an OH group and n represents an integer of 1 to 6.

Abstract: Isocarbostyrils of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a branched alkyl of 3 to 4 carbon atoms, and the acid addition salts thereof, having .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity, are described.

Abstract: N-(Aryloxyalkyl)-N'-(aminoalkyl)ureas and thioureas having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, loweralkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl or phenyllower alkyl, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen, loweralkyl, phenyl and phenylalkyl or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 taken together with the adjacent nitrogen form a heterocyclic residue are disclosed in a method of suppressing cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract: Novel compounds of the general formula: ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein: R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, halo, lower alkylthio, lower alkyl sulfinyl or lower alkyl sulfonyl;R.sup.5 is hydrogen or lower alkyl;m is 0 or 1;W is alkylene, --CH.dbd.CH--, --O--, or --N(R.sup.6)--, where R.sup.6 is lower alkyl or hydrogen;n is 0 or 1; andQ is lower alkyl, cycloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl.These compounds combine .beta.-blockade and calcium entry blockade properties in the same compound and therefore are useful in therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, hypertension, arrhythmia and variant and exercise induced angina. The compounds are also useful in immunosuppressant therapy for immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
