Abstract: The invention relates to R-2-[3-([1,4]benzodioxan-2-ylmethylamino)-1-propyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone of formula (1), and to S-2-[3-([1,4]benzodioxan-2-ylmethylamino)-1-propyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone of formula (2), and to acid-addition salts thereof as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the above compounds. The new starting compounds of formulae (4) and (5) are also involved in the scope of the invention. The compounds according to the invention possess &agr;1- and &agr;2-adrenoceptor antagonistic effects and urogenital selectivity. Thus, they are useful for the treatment of the benign prostate hyperplasia.

Abstract: An N-benzoylamino acid compound of the formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.3 is an NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 group where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 which are the same or different are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, a C.sub.1-12 alkyl group, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group substituted by a hydroxyl group and a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group substituted by an amino group;R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 when taken together with the adjacent nitrogen form a substituted or unsubstituted 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group, a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group containing an additional nitrogen atom, a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group containing an additional nitrogen atom and being substituted by an oxo group, a phenyl-substituted C.sub.1-4 alkyl group or C.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel N-benzoylamino acid derivatives of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which are the same or different, stand for a hydroxyl group optionally bearing an acetyl group; or a C.sub.1-6 alkoxy group optionally substituted by a phenyl group;n means an integer from 2 to 15as well as their tautomers, racemates and optically active individual (pure) isomers or mixtures thereof and the salts of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds.The invention relates also to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula (I).

Abstract: Racemic or optically active new 3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives, a process for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, to the use of the said 3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives for the treatment of diseases and for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the treatment of diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to new 4-aryl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivatives of the general Formula I ##STR1## and salts thereof whereinR stands for hydrogen, lower alkyl or halogen andX represents a group of the general Formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, --NH--R.sup.3 or --OR.sup.4, in whichR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different and stand for hydrogen or lower alkyl or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, they are attached to, form a 5- or 6-membered saturated heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain a further oxygen or sulfur atom or an optionally lower alkyl substituted imino group;n is an integral number 1, 2, 3 or 4;R.sup.3 stands for lower alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl andR.sup.4 is lower alkyl, halogeno lower alkyl, or phenyl lower alkyl.The compounds of the general Formula I are useful as antidepressants and antiparkinsone agents.The compounds of the general Formula I can be prepared by methods known per se.
