Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the aggregation of erthyrocytes or thrombocytes which include phenylamides which conform to the formula: ##STR1## with R.sub.1-6, X, A and B being as defined. Processes for the preparation of novel phenylamides coming within the above formula are also discussed.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of the formula: ##STR1## The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them useful in treatment and prophylaxis of disorders of calcium metabolism.

Abstract: Lactam compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which: R is hydrogen, alkyl or cycloalkyl;R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl;R.sup.2 is alkyl, alkenyl, cyano or a carbonyl substituted hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino or hydrazino; orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent alkylidene cycloalkylidene; orR.sup.1, R.sup.2 and the adjacent carbon atom form a spirocyclic ring;n is 0 or 1;A is a --Co--NH--, --NH--CO--NH-- or --O--CO--NH--;X is a valency bond, alkylene or alkenylene; andR.sup.3 is optionally substituted phenyl, pyridyl, methylenedioxyphenyl or a five-membered heterocycle; or when X is a valency bond, R.sup.3 can also be an optionally substituted alkyl or alkino group, or cycloalkyl. The compounds are useful for the inhibition of erythrocyte and thrombocyte aggregation.
