Abstract: Sulfonyl or carbonyl derivatives of inositols are found to be effective phospholipase C inhibitors and thereby potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. These inositol derivatives are prepared by condensation of a protected inositol with a substituted sulfonic or carboxylic acid derivative followed by removal of protecting groups.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel substituted heptadeca-5,9- and 5,10-dienoic acid and similar fatty acid compounds which are derivatives of certain prostaglandins and are potent thromboxane A.sub.2 inhibitors. By virtue of this pharmacological property, they represent useful pharmacological agents for a wide variety of purposes.

Abstract: The present specification provides novel analogs of carbacyclin (CBA.sub.2), 6a-carba-prostacyclin (6a-carba-PGI.sub.2), which have pronounced prostacyclin-like pharmacological activity, e.g., as platelet anti-aggregatory agents. Specifically the novel chemical analogs of CBA.sub.2 are those substituted by fluoro (C-5), alkyl (C-9), interphenylene (C-5), and methano (C-6a,9). Further provided are benzindene analogs of CBA.sub.2 and substituted forms thereof, i.e., 9-deoxy-2',9-methano (or 2',9-metheno)-3-oxa-4,5,6-trinor-3,7-(1',3'-interphenylene)-PGF.sub.1 compounds. Also provided are a variety of novel chemical intermediates, e.g., substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]octane intermediates, and chemical process utilizing such intermediates which are useful in the preparation of the novel CBA.sub.2 analogs.

Abstract: There are disclosed compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl; R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --wherein n is 2 to 20, ##STR2## and R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or lower alkoxy, and ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl; R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --wherein n is 2 to 20, ##STR4## and R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or lower alkoxy and racemates thereof.There are also disclosed processes and intermediates utilized to produce the end products.The end products have utility as agents exhibiting both .alpha. and selective .beta. adrenergic blocking action.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel aniline derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent a hydrogen or chlorine atom, an allyloxy, acetamide or carboxamide group, R.sub.3 represents a methyl or an optionally substituted phenyl group, R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom and R.sub.5 an isopropyl, terbutyl, 2-phenoxy-ethyl or 3-phenyl-propyl group or R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 taken together form with the nitrogen atom a substituted heterocyclic group.The compounds of the invention are useful for the treatment of angina pectoris.

Abstract: There are disclosed compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl; R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --wherein n is 2 to 20, ##STR2## R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or lower alkoxy, and ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl; R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --wherein n is 2 to 20, ##STR4## and R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or lower alkoxy and racemates thereof.There are also disclosed processes and intermediate utilized to produce the end products.The end products have utility as agents exhibiting both .alpha. and selective .beta. adrenergic blocking action.
