Abstract: An apparatus for forming depressions in thermoplastic film. The apparatus uses rotating dies to first frictionally heat and soften the film, and to then urge the film into bores in a mold, thereby forming the depressions. The plastic films thus produced are useful in the production of packaging.

Abstract: A new antibacterial agent designated LL-C19004 is described, which antibacterial agent is produced through microbiological fermentation, under controlled conditions using a new species of Saccharothrix, Saccharothrix espanaensis (NRRL 15764).

Abstract: The invention relates to new compounds of general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group,R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group optionally substituted (except at the .alpha. carbon atom) by a hydroxy group, or represents a cycloalkyl group or an allyl, phenyl or benzyl group,R.sub.3 represents an allyl group, an alkyl group optionally substituted (except at the .alpha. carbon atom) by a hydroxy group, or represents a cycloalkyl group orR.sub.2 and R.sub.3 together with the nitrogen atom between them represent a straight-chained alkyleneimino group,the acid addition salts thereof, particularly the acid addition salts thereof with physiologically acceptable inorganic or organic acids which have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly a metastasis-inhibiting effect based on their selective tumour-PDE inhibiting effect, and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds or the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a low bulk density lyophilized pharmaceutical parenteral dosage unit of Sodium Piperacillin and method of making same.
