Abstract: It has been found that sugar acid salts represent beneficial controlled release forms for basic organic drug compounds. Examples of appropriate salts include mono, di, oligo and polysaccharide poly-O-sulphonic acid salts of antibiotics such as tetracyclins and aminoglycosides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel amino glycoside salts of sucrose-octa-O-sulfonic acid of formula I:([sucrose-octa-O-sulfonic acid.sup.8- ]-[R-(NH.sub.3.sup.+).sub.x ].sub.y -M.sub.z.sup.n+) (I)(x.multidot.y)+(z.multidot.n)=8x.multidot.y.epsilon.N.vertline.[4.ltoreq.x.multidot.y.ltoreq.8], wherein N is the set of natural numbers,x.epsilon.Z.vertline.[4.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.6], wherein Z is the set of integersz.epsilon.N.vertline.[0.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.4],n.epsilon.Z.vertline.[1.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.3],wherein R is a sugar moiety of an amino glycoside and M is a metal ion or an ammonium ion, said compounds being useful for treating ulcerations of the stomach and duodenum.

Abstract: A salt of sucrose-octa-O-sulfonic acid and a tetracycline useful in inhibiting protein synthesis of bacteria.

Abstract: Fluorosubstituted benzaldehydes are condensed with anisil and ammonium acetate to yield the corresponding 2-(fluorosubstituted phenyl)-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazoles. Alternatively fluorosubstituted benzaldehydes are condensed with anisil monoxime and ammonium acetate to yield the corresponding 2-(fluorosubstituted phenyl)-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-imidazole-3-oxides which can subsequently be reduced to yield the corresponding 2-(fluorosubstituted phenyl)-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazoles. These imidazoles have interesting pharmacological properties.
