Abstract: The invention is predicated on the discovery that certain 1,4-disubstituted piperazines interact synergistically with certain known analgesics to antagonize or block the stimulus causing migraine. This effect is most pronounced when administering a mixture of 1-p-chlorobenzhydryl-4-p-(tertiary butyl)-benzyl-piperazine (buclizine) and N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (paracetamol) in the respective proportions by weight of from 1:20 to 1:200.

Abstract: Novel hydrogenated pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides are produced by catalytic hydrogenation, particularly in the presence of a rhodium catalyst. The novel compounds are specifically used to inhibit deaminating enzymes, which would inactivate cytosine arabinoside by conversion to uridine arabinoside. Cytosine arabinoside is used for its anti-viral, particularly anti-herpes and anticytotoxic activity in mammals and birds, as well as to destroy phages which interfere with the production of antibiotics. Novel formulations containing cytosine arabinoside and the hydrogenated pyrimidine nucleosides are advantageous to provide prolonged cytosine arabinoside effects.

Abstract: 6-(.alpha.-3-Acyl-ureidoacetamido)-penicillanic acids and pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salts thereof in which the hydrogen atom of the nitrogen atom present in the 3-position is substituted, are effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections, particularly Klebsiella aerobacter infections.

Abstract: Substituted naphthoquinones of the formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, hydroxy, hydrogen or halogen or any two of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 taken together complete a carbocyclic ring, have useful anti-allergy activity in mammals.

Abstract: Alkanoyl substituted benzoic acids and esters, e.g., p-pivaloyl ethyl benzoate, are prepared by oxidizing alkanoyl substituted toluene and reacting with lower alkanols and are useful as hypolipidemic, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a substituted 3-cinnamoyl-2H-pyran-2,6(3H)-dione and methods of inhibiting the antigen-antibody reaction by administering said compositions. Certain of the 3-cinnamoyl-2H-pyran-2,6(3H)-diones are novel compounds per se.

Abstract: Certain compounds in which a carbon atom of a pyrrolidine or piperidine ring is bonded directly or through a methylene group to the nitrogen of a substituted benzamido group, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are found to be active as antiarrhythmic agents.

Abstract: Substituted benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridines having the following structural formula are disclosed: ##STR1## In the above formula, R.sub.1 R.sub.2 are hydrogen, a hydroxyl group or a lower alkoxyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and X is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a methylene group or a nitrogen atom substituted by hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a lower alkanoyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The compounds of this invention are prepared by reacting an R.sub.1, R.sub.2 -substituted phenol with a 3-carbethoxy-4-piperidone in the presence of an acid catalyst to give an intermediate R.sub.1, R.sub.2 -substituted benzopyrano[3,4-c] pyridine. N-aminoalkylbenzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridines are obtained by treating the benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridine with an appropriately substituted alkyl halide. The compounds of this invention are useful as bronchodilators for the treatment of bronchial asthma.
