Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for granulating an amphiphilic active ingredient or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a step for coating the active ingredient in a polar aprotic solvent in the presence of a polymer binder to obtain a granule.

Abstract: The present invention concerns new derivatives of 1-aryl 2-aminomethyl cyclopropane carboxylates (Z), their preparation and their use as useful drugs for the treatment of various pains.The new derivatives of the present invention have the general formula I ##STR1## in which: R represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 lower alkyl group, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 lower alkoxy group, or a nitro, amino, sulfamoyl or hydroxy group;n represents the values 1, 2 or 3;(R).sub.n may together with the benzene ring also form the naphthyl group;R.sub.1 represents a linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 alkyl or alkenyl group or an aryl or benzyl group;R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl or dialkylaminoalkyl group or an aryl, arylalkyl or cycloalkyl group;R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 possibly also forming a heterocycle of 5 or 6 members with the adjacent nitrogen atom,provided however that when R.sub.

Abstract: Acetals and ketals of benzopyran glycosides, prepared by condensing a benzopyran glycoside with a carbonyl compound using a chloroformate ester as condensing agent, show enhanced activity in treating capillary fragility and related pathologies, as well as effectiveness in modifying the evolution of diabetic cataracts.

Abstract: A method for reducing serum lipid levels in humans and animals is provided which comprises administering a hypolipidemically effective amount of p-chlorophenyl 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionate. A hypolipidemic composition is provided which comprises p-chlorophenyl 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionate, as principal active ingredient, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Total serum lipids and serum cholesterol levels are significantly reduced.

Abstract: A plant extract rich in triterpenic constituents obtained from chrysanthellum and containing as principle component a triterpenic saponin derivative of echinocystic acid whose glycoside contains rhamnose, glucose and xylose may be prepared by extraction of chrysanthellum plants. The extract has been shown to have pharmacological activity, especially analgesic, anti-inflammatory, capillaroprotective and anti-ulcer activity.

Abstract: 3-Amino 3H-isobenzofuranones substituted on the nitrogen atom with benzodioxol-1,3, benzodioxane-1,4 or benzodioxane-1,3 rings are described which possess analgesic and anti-edematous properties.
