Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of lowering plasma triglycerides in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient an effective hypotriglyceridemic amount of a bis(3,5-di-alkyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)methane.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of inhibiting the development of a cataract in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient an effective cataract inhibitory amount of a bis(alkyl-substituted-4-hydroxyphenylthio)alkane analog.

Abstract: The novel organoboron reagent of the present invention is useful in the preparation of unsubstituted propargylic alcohols. This compound reacts with aldehydes and ketones cleanly to afford propargylic alcohols in excellent yields. Unsubstituted propargylic alcohols are important synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of a number of natural products. In addition, the novel organoboron reagent of the present invention also demonstrates diastereomeric selectivity when reacted with enatiomerically pure aldehydes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain novel polyamine compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein Z is a saturated (C.sub.2 -C.sub.6) alkylene moiety, each R group independently is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl with the provisos that both R groups cannot be hydrogen and that R is hydrogen or methyl when Z is a branched chain alkylene; or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel A-nor-steroid-3-carboxylic acid derivatives and to their use as inhibitors of mammalian 5.alpha.-reductase.

Abstract: The present invention provides certain novel azadecalin amides and thioamides which are useful as inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis and as agents which lower total serum cholesterol in patients in need thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain novel di- and tetra-fluoro analogs of squalene and to their methods of use in lowering plasma cholesterol and in inhibiting squalene epoxidase in patients in need thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of inhibiting the development of a cataract in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient an effective cataract inhibitory amount of a bis(alkyl-substituted-4-hydroxyphenylthio)alkane analog.
