Abstract: Long chain fatty acid amides of styryl hexahydroindolinols in which the amido portions have ethyleneically unsaturated positions or cyclopropanyl rings, eg 1-(1-oxo-9-cis-octadecenyl)-(3aRS, 4RS, 7aRS)-4-(Z)-(3,4-dimethoxy)-styryl-hexahydro-4-indolinol, are useful as cholesterol ester-reducing agents and are obtainable by reacting corresponding long chain carboxylic acids (or derivatives thereof) with appropriate 4-styryl-4-hexahydroindolinols.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of inhibiting phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase using 2-indanamine compounds having 4 and/or 5 substituents.

Abstract: An instillation composition, comprising an effective amount of at least one sparingly soluble active material suspended or partly dissolved in an aqueous emulsion containing a swelling agent. Advantageously the active substance is nitrofurantoin or a quinolone or pyridazine derivative, the active material has a particle size less than about 10 .mu.m and the swelling agent is a polysaccharide derivative present in about 0.3 to 3% by weight of the composition, the composition further containing at least one local anesthetic, antiphlogistic substance, emulsifier, buffer or stabilizer. With the invention, unit doses of only 50 ml. will contain sufficient active material.
