Abstract: Thiophene derivatives of the formula ##STR1## IN WHICH R.sub.x is --S--CHR.sub.5 --CONHOH or --S--CHR.sub.5 -5-tetrazolyl in which R.sub.5 is H or alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms and R.sub.y is 0-2 of alkyl or alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms or halogen, and their pharmacologically acceptable salts with bases, possess antilipolytic activity.

Abstract: Thiophene derivatives of the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN R.sub.x is --S-CHR.sub.5 -COOH or -S-CH.sub.2 -CH.sub.2 -OH, R.sub.y is 1-2 of halogen alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7-10 carbon atoms, phenyl, halophenyl or alkylcarbonyl of 1-6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom, when R.sub.y is a halogen atom, when R.sub.5 is alkyl, their enantiomers, and their pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof with bases, possess antilipolytic activity.

Abstract: 1,2-Substituted biguanides of the formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 is saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon of 1-12 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more fluorine atoms; a cycloalkyl group of 3-6 carbon atoms; or an aryl or aralkyl group of the formula ##SPC1##With n being the integer 0, 1 or 2 and X being hydrogen or halogen; and R'.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group of 1-12 carbon atoms; or R.sub.1 and R'.sub.1 collectively with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached are a heterocyclic ring containing one or more hetero atoms; and R.sub.
