Abstract: 6-purinyl N-(2-chloroethyl) carbamate and thiocarbamate are disclosed of the general formula I, ##STR1## in which X stands for an oxygen or sulfur atom, and also a process for their preparation by reacting a purine derivative of the general formula II (hypoxanthine or 6-mercaptopurine, respectively) with 2-chloroethylisocyanate. The subject compounds of formula I show a remarkable antineoplastic effect in vitro and in vivo, and consequently have great potential for the treatment of malignant neoplastic diseases in mammals.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the treatment of endometritis (chronic and/or acute puerperal inflammations) in mammalian females comprising the administration of 1-(8-alpha-ergolinyl)-3,3-diethylurea derivatives of Formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a double bond between the carbon atoms at positions 9 and 10. The compound according to Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, is the physiologically active component of the therapeutic composition and method. The compound may be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, vehicle, excipient, auxiliary, or carrier. The invention is particularly advantageous in veterinary medicine, when applied to the treatment of farm animals, such a cows.

Abstract: A procedure is described for the preparation of a novel group of alkyl cyanomethyl ergoline-I derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are D-6-alkyl-8-cyanomethylergoline-I derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group of 2-4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: 5-Carboxyalkyl-2-iminobarbituric and 5-carboxyalkyl-2-thioxobarbituric acids and derivatives thereof are prepared either by condensation of a triester of a tricarboxylic acid with a thio or imino diamide to yield an ester which is saponified, the desired compound being obtained by liberation with a mineral acid from an ammoniacal medium containing the saponified ester. Alternatively, free tricarboxylic acids may be substituted for the triesters. The compounds described herein have evidenced a therapeutic effect in animals having transplanted tumors, and have inhibited tumor growth and lengthened the life of animals and humans.

Abstract: Novel N.beta.-substituted 8-.beta.-aminoethylergolin-I derivatives and the acid addition salts thereof are disclosed. The described compositions are prepared by either reductive alkylation or selective reduction of corresponding derivatives containing carbonyl groups.

Abstract: 8-(.beta.-AMINOETHYL)ERGOLINES-I of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or an acyl group of the general formula R.sup.3 --CO, R.sup.3 being a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1-5 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a phenylalkyl group or a pyridyl group or substituents thereof, and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. Acid addition salts of the described ergolines evidence pharmacological activity in the anti-inflammation and hypotensive fields.
