Abstract: The invention relates to contraceptive vaginal tablets as well as to a process for preparing them. The tablets of the invention have the following composition:0.2 to 3 parts by weight of boric acid,10 to 20 parts by weight of tartaric acid,1 to 2 parts by weight of vitamin K.sub.3 -sodium bisulfite adduct,0.8 to 1.2 parts by weight of polyvinyl pyrrolidone,2 to 5 parts by weight of magnesium stearate,8 to 12 parts by weight of carboxymethyl cellulose,8 to 12 parts by weight of lactose and50 to 65 parts by weight of microcrystalline cellulose.The vaginal tablets contain preferably 5 to 10 mg of vitamin K.sub.3 -sodium bisulfite adduct and have a total weight of 500 mg.The tablets of the invention are prepared preferably in such way that the boric acid, the tartaric acid and the vitamin K.sub.

Abstract: New compounds and a process for making the same, for use in inhibiting aggregation in human blood and inhibiting the growth of tumors, said compounds being of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, alkanoyl, substituted alkanoyl, aralkanoyl or aroyl and represents .alpha. or .beta. steric position or .alpha. and .beta. position, with the provision that if R stands for p-phenyl-benzoyl then methoxy in the position 2 may stand only in .alpha. or only in .beta. steric position.

Abstract: A method of making an insecticidal pyrethrin by oxidation in aprotic organic solvent. The compounds are of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.11 is straight or branched chain lower alkyl or 1-alkenyl or hydrogen;R and R.sup.12 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen or lower alkyl or one of the moieties R and R.sup.12 is lower alkoxycarbonyl.

Abstract: Racemic or optically active compounds with antitumor activity of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur;R.sup.1 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkanoyl, benzoyl or phenyl-substituted benzoyl;R.sup.2 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkanoyl;R.sup.3 is C.sub.2 to C.sub.40 straight or branched chain alkyl substituted by hydroxy, epoxy, amino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkylamino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 dialkylamino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkanoyloxy or, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl; cyclohexyl, phenyl unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, amino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl-substituted amino, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy, nitro, or hydroxy; C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkanoyl; allyl or phenyl-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl unsubstituted or substituted by a C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alkene group; or where X is sulfur R.sup.3 is as defined above or is C.sub.1 to C.sub.40 straight or branched chain alkyl; and.about. represents the exo- or endo-steric position in the ring and indicates an .alpha.- or .beta.

Abstract: Insecticidal compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.11 is a straight or branched chain lower alkyl or 1-alkenyl or hydrogen;R and R.sup.12 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, or straight or branched chained lower alkyl, or one of the moieties R and R.sup.12 is lower alkoxycarbonyl; the bonds represent .alpha.- and/or .beta.-configuration and the -- bonds represent .beta.-configuration.
