Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of GABA agonists having an agonist action at GABA.sub.B receptors in the treatment of emesis.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or a group of the formula --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --OR.sub.4 ; in which the groups R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group (which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or aryl groups) or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain additional hetero atoms, e.g. morpholino or piperazinyl; and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.These compounds have biological activity, particularly in inhibiting the release of spasmogenic substances arising as a consequence of antigen-antibody reactions.

Abstract: Novel phenylacetic derivatives are provided of the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These have anti-inflammatory or analgetic activity. The invention also provides a process for the production of these compounds from a ketone of the structure: ##STR2## It also provides pharmaceutical compositions including phenylacetic derivatives.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formulae I and II and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkenyl or alkyl group; or a group OR.sub.3 or NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 which may be the same or different and may represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkenyl group, or an alkyl group which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by one or more hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, aryl, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, diaralkylamino or alkylaralkylamino groups; or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic ring that may optionally contain other hetero atoms.R.sub.2 has the same meanings as R.sub.3.The compounds have utility for the treatment of conditions in which combination of an antigen with a reaginic antibody is primarily responsible.
