Abstract: Pyrazole derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, or n-butyl and X is hydrogen, hydroxy, methyl, methoxy, chlorine, or bromine, and their acid addition salts have antiviral activity against both RNA and DNA viruses such as myxoviruses, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, and various viruses of the Herpes group. The compounds are active when administered orally or topically. They may be prepared by heating hydrazine hydrate or an alkyl hydrazine with a 3-benzofuryl ketone.

Abstract: Amidoxime derivatives corresponding to the general formula: ##EQU1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are the same or different, represent hydrogen or a straight-chain lower alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, n is 0, 1 or 2 and R is selected from the groups consisting of: ##SPC1##Wherein X represents oxygen or sulphur, Y . . . Z represents HC--CH or C=C, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, which are the same or different, represent hydrogen or a branched- or straight-chain lower alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms with the provisos that:A. when n is 1, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen and R is selected from the groups A, B, C and D.b. when n is 2, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 area each hydrogen and R is selected from the groups A, B, C and the group D when it represents .beta.-naphthyl.They are effective as antidepressive and antiaggressive agents.

Abstract: A method of suppressing seborrhea whereby there is applied to the affected area a composition containing as active principle in a nontoxic vehicle .alpha.,l-carnitine chloride or l-carnitine chloride or a mixture of these two substances.
