Abstract: The present invention relates to new compounds of Formula I ##STR1## and physiologically acceptable salts thereof wherein A and B stand for oxygen or --CH.sub.2 group with the proviso that if A stands for oxygen, then B stands for --CH.sub.2 group and R stands for hydrogen and, if A represents a --CH.sub.2 group, then B stands for oxygen, R stands for a --CH.sub.2 Q group wherein Q stands for hydrogen, and pyrrolidino, piperidino or morpholino and a process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of the Formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to new oxidiazole-alkyl-purine-derivatives of the Formula I ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein A stands for C.sub.1-4 alkylene andR.sup.1 represents C.sub.1-6 alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, halogenoalkyl, carboxyalkyl, C.sub.5-6 cycloalkyl or aminoalkyl of the Formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --NR.sup.2 R.sup.3 in which group n is an integer 1-3; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each stand for hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl or together with the adjacent nitrogen atom they are attached to form a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring which may optionally comprise a further nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom as heteroatom; orR.sup.1 stands for phenyl, hydroxyphenyl, carboxyphenyl, benzyl or dimethoxybenzylThe compounds of the Formula I can be prepared by methods known per se and can be used in therapy as antitussive agents.

Abstract: Antitussive compounds of the formula I ##STR1## or physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are disclosed, where A stands for straight or branched chain C.sub.1-5 alkylene or ##STR2## R.sub.1 stands for straight or branched chain C.sub.1-10 alkyl, halogenoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, C.sub.5-6 cycloalkyl, vinyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, carbonylalkyl or aminoalkyl of the formula ##STR3## wherein R stands for hydrogen or methyl, n is 0 to 3,R.sub.2 stands for hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkyl,R.sub.3 stands for hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkyl or,R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 together with the nitrogen atom may form a 5-6 membered ring, which ring can optionally contain an oxygen or a second nitrogen atom, the latter, optionally substituted by methyl or,R.sub.1 can stand for a phenyl group of the formulaR.sub.4 R.sub.5 C.sub.6 H.sub.3whereinR.sub.4 and R.sub.5 represent independently hydrogen, chlorine, hydroxy, methoxy, ethoxy, methyl or amino or,R.sub.

Abstract: A polysaccharide-concentrate obtained from plant of the genera Cucurbitaceae, Papilionaceae, Tiliaceae, Labiate, Malvaceae, Asteraceae, Umbelliferae, Rutaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Linaceae, Rosaceae and Plantaginaceae by extraction with water and precipitation of the polysaccharide with alcohol or acetone, if desired after further purification. The polysaccharides having a molecular weight between 75,000-2,000,000, containing maximum 5% of nitrogen, maximum 5% of phosphorus (expressed in P.sub.2 O.sub.5), maximum 25% of ash, minimum 30% of reducing sugar, minimum 60% of total sugar (after acidic hydrolysis, expressed as glucose) has been shown to have especially anti-inflammatory activity.
