Abstract: A method for suppressing the release of histamine from sensitized leukocytes in warm blooded animals which comprises administering internally to said animals compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein n is a whole integer from 1 to 4; X is halogen and Z is COOH, CH.sub.2 OR or ##STR2## R being a lower alkyl chain of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of those compounds wherein Z is COOH, in sufficient amount to suppress the release of histamine from said cells.

Abstract: Sulfonylureas are prepared by reacting a hydroxyethyl carbamate with an alkali metal salt of a substituted benzene sulfonamide, the alkali metal being selected from the group comprising sodium, potassium and lithium.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for providing a digital indication of characteristic data measurements of a centrifuge centrifugal head for examining the contents of test vessels, characterized by an indicator capable of showing directly, according to the adjustment of a selector switch, the acceleration, number of revolutions per unit of time and rotor characteristic data.

Abstract: Novel 2,3-disubstituted-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen or chlorine. The novel compositions have been obtained by an unexpected side chain chlorination and have been found to be useful in medicinal chemistry as antihypertensives.

Abstract: Chemical compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro, amino, acetamido, sulfonamido or trifluoromethyl, and each R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl. Said compounds have valuable anti-inflammatory activity in standard laboratory animals.

Abstract: N-methyl-4-piperidinyl.alpha.-benzoyloxy-.alpha.-cyclopentylphenylacetate. The novel ester in the form of its free base or as a salt has been found to be an effective inhibitor of perspiration.

Abstract: Polyethylenimine mono-and difluorophosphates are obtained by the reaction of solutions of polyethylenimines with monofluorophosphoric acid or difluorophosphoric acid at low temperatures. The novel polyethylenimine salts have demonstrated valuable properties in the prevention of dental caries.

Abstract: Novel alkylamine fluorophosphates of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1-20 carbon atoms; R.sub.1 is lower alkyl or hydrogen, R.sub.2 is alkyl or hydrogen; X is 1 or 2; Y is 1 when X=1; Y is 1 or 2 when X=2; m and n are positive whole integers whose sum is 3. When R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are alkyl they can be substituted with an hydroxy group. The novel fluorophosphates have been found to be effective in reducing the acid solubility of tooth enamel.
