Abstract: 4- or 5-Trifluoromethyl-2-[(4-methoxy-2-pyridylmethyl)thio or sulfinyl]-(-benzimidazoles are useful as such or in medicament compositions for protecting the stomach and intestines and for inhibiting gastric acid secretion of warm-blooded animals to which they are administered.

Abstract: Epoxycycloalkylalkanecarboxylic acids of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein R denotes a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, Y denotes an oen atom (--O--) or a methylene group (--CH.sub.2 --), m denotes an integer from 0 to 6, n denotes an integer from 0 to 6 and p denotes an integer from 2 to 11 (and m cannot be 0 or 1 if Y represents an oxygen atom, and the sum of the numbers m, n and p is an integer from 6 to 15), and also the salts of the carboxylic acids, are new compounds. They exhibit a hypoglycaemic action on warmblooded animals. Processes for the preparation of the new compounds are described.

Abstract: Quinolinone-alkanecarboxylic acids of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical or different and denote hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an amino group, a dialkylamino group, the alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a nitro group,R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are identical or different and denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group, an amino group or a dialkylamino group, the alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, orR.sup.4 and R.sup.5 together denote a methylenedioxy group bonded to two adjacent ring carbon atoms, and A denotes an alkylene group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms,and esters thereof with alkanols with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and salts thereof with inorganic and organic bases are new compounds. They display a hyperglycaemic action in warm-blooded animals. Processes for the preparation of the new compounds are given.

Abstract: 1,4,9,10-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-10-ones have been found o provide excellent protection for the stomach and intestines of warm-blooded animals. They are useful for the treatment and prophylaxis of such maladies as gastritis, acute and chronic ulcus ventriculi and hyperacid gastric irritation. The compounds are administered enterally or parenterally, usually in a standard dosage form. The disclosure includes key intermediates, methods of synthesis, compositions and use.

Abstract: Substituted oxiranecarboxylic acids of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 denotes a hydrogen atom (--H), a halogen atom, a hydroxyl roup, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group or a trifluoromethyl group,R.sup.2 has one of the meanings of R.sup.1,R.sup.3 denotes a hydrogen atom (--H) or a lower alkyl group andn denotes an integer from 1 to 5, andthe salts of the acids are new compounds. They display a hypoglycaemic action in warm-blooded animals. Processes for the preparation of the new compounds and of the intermediate products required for their preparation are described.

Abstract: Aryl-substituted piperazinylalkyl-quniazolone-(4) derivatives suitable for se as hypotensive, antihistaminic, and analgesic drugs are described. Process for the preparation of the compounds by (1) intra molecular condensation of the product obtained from the reaction of a halogen carboxylanilide with an aryl piperazine; (2) reaction of an .omega.-halogen-alkyl quinazolone with an aryl piperazine; or (3), reaction of an anthranilic acid with a (4-aryl-piperazinyl-(1) carboxylamide, nitride, amidine, or iminoester, followed by alkylation of the product are also described. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and halogenalkanoic acid-6-carbamyl anilides useful for preparing the compounds are disclosed.
