Abstract: The invention relates to S-alkyl 3-alkylthiopropionothioates of Formula (I) as defined herein. Also included in the invention are methods for the manufacture of said S-alkylthiopropionothioates, compositions containing them and the use of said compounds and compositions for the treatment of inflammatory processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing as an active ingredient a dipeptide or an acid salt or a base addition salt thereof or a stereoisomer thereof, said dipeptide being those of the formulaR--Phe--Trp--R.sub.1in whichPhe denote the radical ##STR1## Trp denotes the radical ##STR2## R denotes a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 optionally substituted alkanoyl group andR.sub.1 denotes a hydroxyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy, amino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkylamino or di-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkylamino group.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-indolylacetoxyacetic acid (known to be useful as an antiphlogistic agent) which comprises reacting .alpha.-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-4-methoxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride or sulphonate with laevulinoyloxyacetic acid and cyclizing the resulting hydrazone to obtain a product free from 1-benzoyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-indolylacetoxyacetic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions containing S-benzyl 3-benzylthiopropionothioate for the treatment of inflammatory processes. Also included in the invention are methods for combating illnesses caused by inflammatory, processes, which methods involve use of medicaments containing said S-benzyl 3-benzylthiopropionothioate.

Abstract: The invention relates to 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetic acid compounds, useful as psychopharmacological agents. Also included in the invention are pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds and methods for the use of said compounds and compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, antiphlogistically effective agents, including pharmaceutical compositions containing said agents. Also included are methods for the use of said agents. The active compounds are those of the formula ##STR1## or an ester thereof, in which X denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkylthio group, an alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl group or a hydroxyl or mercapto group,Y denotes a grouping ##STR2## in which R denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, andZ denotes a hydroxyl group or an alkoxy or alkylthio group, at least one of the substituents X or Z in each case denoting a sulphur-containing radical.

Abstract: Dehydrooligopeptides, some of which are known, demonstrate histolytic and tumor-resolving activity and may be used in medicaments causing the lysis of animal tissues and/or tumors in warm-blooded animals.

Abstract: New dehydrooligopepetides which bear, as one terminal substituent, an optionally substituted alkyl or alkenyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heterocyclic radical, optionally substituted aralkyl or aralkenyl or a carbamoyl group and as the other terminal substituent a hydroxyl or amino, an optionally substituted alkylamino, optionally substituted arylamino, optionally substituted aralkylamino, an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic radical with five or six ring members optionally containing a further heteroatom, optionally substituted aralkoxy, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted aryloxy, optionally substituted alkylthio group or optionally substituted hydrazine demonstrate histolytic and tumor-resolving activity. The compounds are prepared by either hydrolyzing or aminolyzing the corresponding 2,4-disubstituted 5(4H)-oxazolones.
