Abstract: The mixed lymphocyte reaction in tissue culture is used to detect the tumor induced autoimmune reaction which has been found to be characteristic of lymphoid malignancies. Lymphocytes from blood, spleen, and lymph nodes are employed in combinations of two. A mixed lymphocyte reaction from any one of the three possible combinations is indicative of the presence of a lymphoid malignancy.

The compounds of this invention lower blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive mammals and are particularly useful in the treatment of hypertensive conditions in mammals. 2,6-Diamino-4-(1-piperidinyl)pyridine 1-oxide is a representative embodiment of the invention.

Abstract: A biochemical explanation for preferential alcohol consumption is proposed involving excessive cholinergic activity in brain tissue. A process by which alcohol aversion can be induced involving treatment with a choline acetylase inhibitor is provided.

Abstract: A mucolytic process is disclosed which comprises contacting N-(2-hydroxyethyl)mercaptoacetamidobenzamides or mercaptoacylamidobenzoic acids, mercaptoacetylsulfanilic acids and alkanoylthio derivatives thereof with mucus. Illustrative of compounds useful in the mucolytic process of the present invention are 4-(2-mercaptoacetamido)benzoic acid and N-(2-mercaptoacetyl)sulfanilic acid.

Abstract: Triphenylethylenes having an N-(dialkylaminoalkyl)alkanesulfonamide substituent in the one of the phenyl rings may be prepared from similarly substituted benzophenones by reaction thereof with a benzyl Grignard reagent followed by dehydration of the resulting triphenylethanol intermediate and if desired chlorination or nitration of the resulting product. The triphenylethylenes have estrogenic and post-coital antifertility action and are useful as intermediates for the preparation of other triphenylethylene compounds.

Abstract: 2-(2- or 3-Indolyl)indolines, unsubstituted and carbon substituted, condense with N-mono substituted carboxamides or with lactams under the influence of phosphorus oxychloride to produce 1-(N-substituted iminoalkyl)-2-(2- or 3-indolyl)indolines. The 2-(3-indolyl)-1-[2-(1-pyrrolinyl)]indolines rearrange to produce benzodiazepine derivatives. These products have diuretic, antituromobogenic, and antiarrhythmic activity on oral administration.

Abstract: 2'-Hydroxy-5'-[1-hydroxy-2-(2-methyl-1-phenyl-2-propylamino)ethyl]methanesu lfonanilide is a potent anorexigenic agent and orally active bronchodilator.

Abstract: The present invention provides a container with a removable adapter cap for use in nasogastric tube feeding. The adapter cap and container include cooperating elements which provide vent means to secure steady flow during delivery of the liquid dietary contents of the container.

Abstract: Dextrorotatory stereoisomers of beta-adrenergic stimulatory phenethanolamines such as isoproterenol, soterenol, salbutamol, carbuterol, terbutaline, and metaproterenol lower normal or elevated intraocular pressure when topically administered to the eye. Reduction in intraocular pressure is of particular importance in the treatment of glaucoma, a disease marked by ocular hypertension. The dextrorotatory phenethanolamine compounds employed in the process of the present invention are notable for the low order of adrenergic activity in contrast to levorotatory and racemic stereoisomeric forms which are very potent beta-adrenergic stimulatory agents. Consequently, those side effects generally associated with adrenergic activation such as tachycardia, mydriasis, hypertension and hypotension are absent.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the class of heterocyclic carbon compounds comprised of N-(heteroarcyclic)piperazinylalkyl derivatives of azaspiroalkanediones which have potent and specific tranquilizing action and anti-emetic properties. Typical embodiments of this invention are 8-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dio ne and 8-[4-[4-(2-pyridyl)-1-piperazinyl]-butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione.

Abstract: Novel amidine compounds selected from the group consisting of bis-pyrrolinyl derivatives of phenothiazines, phenoxazines and acridans are obtained by reacting a phenothiazine, phenoxazine or acridan with a pyrrolidinone in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The phenothiazine, phenoxazine, or acridan can also be alkylated with 2-chloro-1-(1-pyrrolin-2-yl)-2-pyrroline to provide compounds of the invention.
