  • Patent number: 5686454
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a series of novel compounds of the formula ##STR1## where Y is carbonyl or sulfonyl; R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are alkyl, or R.sup.7 and R.sup.8, together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a C.sub.3-6 carbocyclic ring; R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, oximido, methyl, carboxyl, carboxyalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl, cyanoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl or unsubstituted amino; R.sup.11 is hydrogen, oxo, --N(R.sup.12)--CO--R.sup.13 or --CO--N(R.sup.14)--R.sup.15 ; R.sup.12 is hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl; R.sup.13 is alkoxyl, unsubstituted or substituted heterocyclic rings selected from ##STR2## or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl; and R.sup.14 and R.sup.15 are each independently selected from hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl. The Y moiety cannot be bonded to the camphor ring at the 3 or 6 positions.

  • Patent number: 5648352
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a series of novel piperazinylcamphorsulfonyl compounds where the camphor ring is substituted by amides, amines, alkanes, alkenes, alkylamines, halogens, hydroxy, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl and heterocyclic tings. Such compounds are oxytocin antagonists useful in the treatment of preterm labor, dysmenorrhea and for the stoppage of labor preparatory to cesarean delivery.

  • Patent number: 5204349
    Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy and R.sup.2 is a substituted amino group, a substituted heterocyclic ring or a substituted alkyl. These compounds are oxytocin and vasopressin antagonists useful in the treatment of preterm labor, dysmenorrhea and for the stoppage of labor preparatory to cesarean delivery, timing of parturition, uterine hyperactivity, endometriosis, hypertension, congestive heart failure, hyponatremia and cognitive disorders. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, methods of their use and methods of their preparation.
