Abstract: The present invention is concerned with new carboxylic acid derivatives, with processes for the preparation thereof and with pharmaceutical compositions for lipid depression and thrombocyte aggregation, containing them, and to methods for treating infirmaties caused by excess lipids or thrombocyte aggregation.

Abstract: The invention provides sulphonamides of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl radical;R.sub.1 is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or aralkenyl, the aryl moiety of which in each case can be optionally substituted one or more times by hydroxyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl or alkoxy or by acyl, carboxy or alkoxycarbonyl;n is 1, 2 or 3; andW is a valence bond or a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon linkageand the physiologically acceptable salts, esters and amides of such compound. These compounds have excellent pharmacological lipid depressing activity and inhibit thrombocyte aggregation.

Abstract: Phenylacetic acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is an aryl radical optionally substituted by halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkyl-substituted amino or aryloxy, or a heterocyclic ring system optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl or alkoxy,Y is a valency bond or an optionally branched alkylene radical containing up to 3 carbon atoms, andR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical,or a physiologically compatible salt or ester thereof, exhibit marked hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activity.

Abstract: Phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or lower alkylR.sub.1 is alkyl or aryl, aralkyl or aralkenyl radical, the aryl moiety of which can be substituted one or more times by halogen, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl or lower alkyl, alkoxy or acylR.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are individually selected from hydrogen or lower alkyl, andn is 0, 1, 2 or 3and the physiologically acceptable salts, esters and amides thereof; are outstandingly effective in inhibiting thrombocyte aggregation.

Abstract: Phenylacetic acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is an aryl radical optionally substituted by halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkyl-substituted amino or aryloxy, or a heterocyclic ring system optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl or alkoxy,Y is a valency bond or an optionally branched alkylene radical containing up to 3 carbon atoms, andR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical,or a physiologically compatible salt or ester thereof, exhibit marked hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activity.

Abstract: Novel phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein B is a valency bond or a straight-chained or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical containing up to 3 carbon atoms;N is 1 or 2 andR.sub.1, r.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or lower alkyl; and the pharmacologically compatible salts thereof; have been found to be outstandingly effective in lowering the serum lipid level and the cholesterol level in mammals without inducing undesired side effects and to possess excellent thrombocyte-aggregation inhibiting activity.

Abstract: Novel phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is aryl, aryloxy, substituted aryl or substituted aryloxy, wherein the substituents are selected from lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen and haloalkyl;B is a straight-chained or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl containing up to 5 carbon atoms;N is 1, 2 or 3 andR.sub.1, r.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen or lower alkyl;And the pharmacologically compatible salts thereof; have been found to be outstandingly effective in depressing serum-lipid and triglycerides in the serum of mammals.

Abstract: New 1-[3-(naphth-1-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]-piperazine compounds of the formula: ##STR1## and the pharmacologically compatible salts thereof are outstandingly effective in lowering blood pressure and are thus useful as anti-hypertensive agents.

Abstract: New 1-[3-naphth-1-yloxy)-propyl]-piperazine compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen or methoxy;And the pharmacologically compatible salts thereof;Are outstandingly effective in lowering blood pressure and are thus useful as anti-hypertensive agents.

Abstract: 1-[3-(5,6,7,8-TETRAHYDRONAPHTH-1-YLOXY)-PROPYL]-PIPERAZINE DERIVATIVES OF THE FORMULA ##SPC1##WhereinA is hydrogen or hydroxyl;X is hydrogen or halogen or alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, trifluoromethyl, hydroxyl, nitro, amino, acylamino (i.e., alkanoylamino) or alkylsulfonylamino; andn is 0, 1 or 2;And the pharmacologically compatible salts thereof; exhibit outstanding blood pressure depressing activity, i.e., possess antihypertensive properties.
