Abstract: A compound of formula I ##STR1## wherein A denotes a benzo, indolo or thieno group;R.sup.1 denotes thienyl or the group ##STR2## whereinR.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 independently of one another may represent methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl or benzyl, whilst not more than 2 of the substituents can simultaneously represent phenyl or benzyl;R.sup.2, m, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are defined as in the specification, as well as pharmaceutical preparations containing this compound and the new pharmaceutical uses thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of 9-amino-pyridazino-[4', 5':3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines of the formula ##STR1## and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof with acids, bases and complexing agents for preparing agents for treating chronic inflammatory processes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and for producing agents having an antiproliferative activity. The definitions of substituents R.sub.1 to R.sub.9 are given in the specification. The invention also relates to new compounds of general formula I which are also defined in the specification and their use as cerebroprotective agents.

Abstract: Amino acid derivatives of general formula ##STR1## (the definitions of the various symbols being explained in the specification) are suitable for treating high blood pressure and for cardioprotection. The new compounds are prepared and used in the usual way.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of 2-[N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-N-allylamino]-2-imidazoline as a cytoprotective agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pharmaceutical dosage unit composition consisting essentially of a gelatin capsule containing (1) a disintegrating core comprising clonidine, said disintegrating core having a readily water-soluble coating, and (2) a plurality of non-disintegrating cores comprising clonidine, said non-disintegrating cores having a coating consisting of from 20 to 90 percent by weight of a water-insoluble film former and from 10 to 80 percent by weight of a water-soluble polymer, the diameter of each of the disintegrating and non-disintegrating cores being at least about 5 mm.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical dosage unit retard form having a constant, pH-independent release rate of active ingredient, consisting of a core comprising an active ingredient, and a semi-permeable diffusion coating over the core, where the coating consists of a water-insoluble film-former, a water-soluble polymer and eventually an acid-insoluble polymer incorporated therein.
